A divine strawberry quinoa drink!
Today, I made this lovely drinkable breakfast!
I had some strawberries left in the fridge & wanted to use quinoa flakes too.
Recipe: For 2 larger breakfast glasses
Ingredients:
500 ml of mild, unsweetened yoghurt
10 to 12 juicy & ripe strawberries, cleaned, hulled & cut into 2
2 teaspoons of gluten-free vanilla extract
1 level tablespoon of broken linseeds
3 tablespoons of medium-sized quinoa flakes
** To serve, if you like: a drizzle of agave syrup
Method:
1. Place all the ingredients into a blender & blend until completely smooth.
If you do not have a blender, place it all in 1 larger bowl & mix until completely smooth. Taste.
I like my breakfast to be not too sweet!
2. If you like it a bit more sweeter, add a drizzle of agave syrup to your smoothies.

I really want to like Quinoa as it's so good or you but I just can't get on with it. Haven't come across flakes before so could be a new way of sneaking it into things. Will have to hunt it down and try this out – who doesn't love Strawberry smoothies?
This looks so pretty and healthy. I need to find some quinoa flakes. Great way to start the day.
Hi Sophie! Thanks for stopping by.Your blog looks great, I'll be back!
Sophie, this has such a lovely colour, and it's so healthy!
Sophie, the color of your smoothie is just beautiful. I'll have to order the flakes from my healthfood store, but I really want to give this a try. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings…Mary

What a GREAT combination of drinkable breakfast ingredients Sophie. I LOVE Smoothies!!!Thanks for sharing…
I have to say I have never used quinoa flakes but this definetly looks like a good excuse to start doing so!!
SophieThis is a very original recipe. I have never seen quinoa used in a smoothie.
Now, that is one healthy breakfast smoothie! Delicious.
I had never quinoa smoothie….mixed with berries sounds really awesome!
Voilà une boisson à la fois healthy et délicieuse !BisesHélène
What a delicious smoothie…I'd love one of these right now!So healthy with the yogurt and stawberries-Yum!
I have GOT to get on the quinoa bandwagon, Sophie! But I have never heard of quinoa flakes. Hope I can find some at Whole Foods because this smoothie looks delicious!
That's quite innovative..Such a healthy drink breakfast
I love it when something that looks so delicious can be so healthy. Especially since my raspberries and strawberries will be ready in a month or so, and I still have blackberries in the freezer. Now where's my blender…
I know this would make a bright and fresh start to the day. I feel extra healthy just looking at it.
I love smoothies. This concoction looks especially delicious.
Very healthy Sophie. I'll look for the quinoa flakes. What a great way to start the day.Sam
oh wow what a healthy breakfast drink
@ HH: Quinoa flakes & linseeds make the smoothie a bit thicker & it is a breakfast in a glas anyway.@ Une cuillère pour les délices, 5star Foodie,Nirvana's kitchen, Gloria, Claudia, Koko, Nadji: I am glad that you all like it! Enjoy!@ The diva on a diet: Linseeds are flaxseeds & they taste a bit nutty & they are so good for your health & for your intestins. They help me a lot in that area! You have to grind these flaxseeds or buy them broken because otherwise your intestins won't absorp the good qualities!!@ Juliana, apcgouter, Grace, Kirsten, Lisa: thank you!@ Carolyn Jung: Linseeds are flaxseeds & they taste a bit nutty & they are so good for your health & for your intestins. They help me a lot in that area! You have to grind these flaxseeds or buy them broken because otherwise your intestins won't absorp the good qualities!!
@ Paz, Elra, Foodcreate, Nora: Enjoy & thanks!@ Esme: I made a link to quinoa flakes in my recipe. Just click on the quinoa flakes words. I am glad you want to try it.

I love the rich color of this healthy & refreshing drink. So fruity & flavorful!
Using quinoa in a smoothie is something I never would have thought of, but it's a great idea. It adds fiber and protein, and the flavor is delicious.
Tastiness aside – as that's a given with your cooking, this just sounds so healthy and filling. A perfect breakfast on the go.
