This beautiful breakfast bowl, featuring healthy quinoa in place of oats or other grains, is the nutrient punch you need to feel energized and ready to go in the morning. We like crunchy, antioxidant-rich pomegranate seeds as a garnish for this hearty bowl, but you can also use a few raspberries or blackberries for color and flavor. This recipe is designed to serve one, but you can easily scale it up to either have a batch to store so you can have it throughout the week or if you're making it for a brunch crowd. You won't be able to get enough of the flavor combination of fresh orange juice, cinnamon, yogurt, honey, clementines, and the aforementioned pomegranate seeds.
