1 cup uncooked white quinoa
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, plus more for serving
1 cup unsweetened vanilla coconut milk
1 scoop JJ Virgin Chocolate All-In-One Protein Shake powder* (your choice of protein type)
1 tbsp raw cacao powder (2 Tbsp if you’re a chocolate lover!)
1/4 cup sliced almonds, plus more for serving
1 cup organic blueberries, fresh or frozen and thawed
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
2 oz. vegan dark chocolate, roughly chopped
Rinse the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer for 2 minutes.
Add rinsed, drained quinoa to a medium saucepan over medium heat, and stir frequently until the water dries up and the quinoa is lightly toasted.
Add almond milk and coconut milk and stir.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, uncovered, stirring occasionally.
Cook until most of the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender and creamy.
Remove from heat and stir in protein shake powder, cacao powder, vanilla, and sea salt; stir well to combine.
Top with almond slices and blueberries, stir again, and divide into 4 bowls.
Pour a bit of almond milk over each bowl, then top with chopped dark chocolate.
Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, covered.
