Baked Apple Cinnamon Breakfast Quinoa

It totally feels like Fall now, right? I mean, it IS officially Fall. We can’t deny it anymore. And I am embracing the cozy vibes in full force and lo-ving it.

Let’s be real here. Is there anything better than a warm and comforting breakfast on a cold day? Absolutely positively not, you say! BUT what if I told you this hearty and cinnamon-y and warm-feelings-to-your-toes-y breakfast is super duper good for you, too? And filled with fruit and whole grains and enough protein to fill you up for hours? Now that wins the coziness contest every day.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Chia Seed Pudding

categories: Breakfast, Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian, Whole Grains

So I’d like to introduce you to this here thing called chia seed pudding.

Well, chances are you’ve already heard of chia seed pudding. It’s been making rounds around the internet for a few years now. But like with all healthy food trends, I can be a little skeptical and a little late to the game. I’m always like, “IT CAN’T BE AS GOOD” and immediately dismiss said healthy food craze as a lame version of the real thing.
