Lemon Blueberry Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

A simple and refreshing breakfast bowl that's perfect for starting your day. The quinoa is fluffy and flavorful, the blueberries are sweet and juicy, and the almonds add a nice crunch. The honey adds a touch of sweetness to the bowl, but you can omit it if you prefer.

This recipe was inspired by a trip to the farmer's market, where I picked up some fresh blueberries and lemons. I was looking for a quick and easy breakfast that I could make with these ingredients, and this bowl was born. I've been making it ever since, and it's become one of my favorite go-to breakfasts.

• The blueberries are added to the bowl fresh, which gives them a burst of sweetness and juiciness.
• The almonds add a nice crunch to the bowl, and they also provide some healthy fats.
