Ingredients

1 cup steel cut oats
1/4 cup red quinoa (rinsed)
3 1/2 cups water
Pinch sea salt
2 (14-ounce) cans lite coconut milk
2 tablespoons chia seeds
3 tablespoons honey (or pure maple syrup) (+ more to taste if desired)
2 teaspoons vanilla bean powder (or 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract)
1 cup strawberries (sliced)
1/2 cup sliced toasted almonds*
1/4 cup coconut chips

Steps:

Add water to a large saucepan set over medium-low heat. Stir in the oats, quinoa, and salt. Cook on medium-low, uncovered, until the grains are just tender and the water has evaporated, 15-20 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in the coconut milk, chia seeds, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla. Taste and add additional sweetener if desired. Allow to cool, then pour into eight separate containers (about 1 cup per container). I like to use mason jars because they have lids + they're sturdy and portable. Seal and refrigerate (it should keep for 4-5 days).
At the time of serving, top with strawberries, almonds, and coconut chips. Eat directly out of the jar or pour into a bowl - your preference!
