Tropical Pineapple & Date Breakfast Bowl

So I’m in the tropics right now and pineapple’s all the rage here, so I figured it was only fitting to write about what has become one my fave breaky combos back home. There’s nothing complex about it or particularly clever, but it does hit the spot. Either a refreshing start to the day or, subtract the banana and reduce the grains and you have the perfect detour from a late night grab for the secret chocolate stash. And we all have one of those, yes? The combination of sweet tangy pineapple and chewy caramel dates really does the trick for a sweet craving, plus the quinoa, buckwheat and banana provide sustenance to set you on the way for a big, full day xx
