Gluten Free Chocolate Quinoa Cereal

12-chunky-choc-quinoa-cereal-used

If you’re skipping the grains and gluten right now this crunchy delicious gluten-free chocolate quinoa cereal has your name all over it! 

Make a big batch over the weekend have your weekday brekky sorted!

We have to say, breakfast was always the meal where we’d get stuck when we first stopped eating grains and gluten. 

Also, please note we don’t really stick to any diet anymore. Now, we just eat healthy food. And part of healthy food is real proper cheesy pizza every now and then. But most days, it’s just real food, mostly grain-free and gluten free, no refined sugar. 

It’s just a little more relaxed. Ahhh it feels much better. 

And let us tell you what… broccoli makes us way more bloated than cheesy pizza. Haha. 

If you make this healthy breakfast recipe, let us know! Share a pic with us on your Instagram stories. 

Always merrymaking,
