Cold Fall mornings call for steaming bowls of breakfast goodness, don't you think? I shared this recipe for a superfood breakfast bowl yesterday on Camille Styles and wrote about just a FEW of the health benefits packed into this bowl. Head over here to read more! And I'll be back later today with some links for your weekend. xx- Sarah {Recipe after the jump}

looks like quite the refreshing breakfast! i can't wait to try it!
I bet the quinoa tastes great cooked in coconut milk. The sweetness of the coconut milk would be a nice balance to the slightly bitter quinoa. I haven't had goji berries in a while, but I love the colour that they add to those photos!
Wow!!! This looks like the perfect, balanced power breakfast for fall... well, all year round for that matter! Thank you for sharing it here, i look forward to giving it a try!
Looks good! I've been looking for a quinoa breakfast recipe, so I'm excited to try this out (:
This looks delicious! Salivating as I read it.
Just made this! Amazing! I added a little bit of canned pumpkin and pumpkin spice instead of the banana. Delicious!
