Recipe - Chocolate Quinoa Breakfast Bowl Will Make You Supercharged

Now you can have chocolate for breakfast and never think twice. This supercharged, healthy chocolate quinoa breakfast bowl recipe will be sure to satisfy.

When we were little, hot chocolate was something we looked forward to anytime it snowed. We knew that once we were done playing in the fresh powder, building snowmen, sledding and tubing down our hill and chasing each other with snowballs, we'd come back inside to a steaming cup of hot cocoa.

Chocolate is one of those things that you're totally don't associate with breakfast. Well, at least I don't. Chocolate means sweet treat in my world – it's something you have as a treat, not as a way to start your day. We're making hot chocolate breakfast cereal and it's the perfect winter treat. It's thick, creamy, sweet, rich, filling, lick-your-lips-good...okay, you get the picture.
