Chocolate Strawberry Sweet Quinoa
I love the versatility of quinoa. It’s mild nutty flavor goes well with sweet and savory dishes.
It is also gluten free and considered a super food due to the nutrition that each little grain contains.
I received samples of Nocciolata to try out in some of my kitchen experiments. Nocciolata is an organic, high quality chocolate hazelnut spread. I enjoyed the product so much that I did decide to use it in this healthy dessert recipe.
This chocolate hazelnut drizzle is a trick that I use often. Sometimes I am out of regular chocolate sauce or just want something a little fancier.
I always have chocolate hazelnut spread in my cupboard. Just add a splash of warm water to a tablespoon of the spread. Stir until the water is fully incorporated.
You have a simple yet flavorful chocolaty sauce to drizzle. And it only takes 10 seconds to prepare!

I adore this recipe Nicole. I haven’t tried quinoa in a sweet preparation but I have to now. This is going to be dessert tonight!
Thanks Christie! I love sweet quinoa recipes. I eat a quinoa breakfast bowl that is made with quinoa, milk, maple syrup, almonds and golden raisins … So Good! Enjoy 🙂
Do you serve/eat it warm or cold?
This is meant to be served cold. But you could totally eat it warm if you prefer. Have a great week 🙂
Great idea to make a dessert quinoa bowl! Love these flavors!
Thanks Jessica!
