Healthy Berry Quinoa Crumble! A gluten free, protein-packed warm weather dessert. Lightly sweetened, perfect for sharing & parties! Gluten Free + Vegan
Happy almost 4th of July! I’m re-sharing this Healthy Berry Quinoa Crumble just in time for the week’s celebrations. I re-tested, re-shot and lightened up the sugar content from the original recipe. Still equally delicious and I hope you love it!
While I was re-making this Healthy Berry Quinoa Crumble recipe, I kept thinking how much I want to someday own a healthy cafe filled with pancakes, muffins, breakfast sandwiches and more. Along with all the other crazy dreams I have! Of course, the cafe is one at the very top of the list.
Every time I see the movie, It’s Complicated I think the woman in this movie is living “my life.” Well, sans the whole divorced with 3 kids part. We’re both successful business women, both quirky, and my current boyfriend I could easily equate to Steve Martin. Goofy, sensitive, funny and knows when to be serious.
What really equates to my life in this movie though, is her gorgeous, rustic cafe with rainbows of fresh produce, coffee, large chocolate croissants and delectable blueberry scones. Only my baked goods would be healthier and lighter. Every time I watch that movie I think to myself, this is me. This is what I want my life to look like at 50.
It’s easy to dream, but will it happen? I tell all my clients they have to imagine themselves losing weight or imagine their body changing. What the mind believes, the body will follow.
The movie came on while I was making this beautiful Healthy Berry Quinoa Crumble, and if I ever do have that cafe guaranteed this will be on the menu!

What I Used For The Recipe
Lol baking something really good does inspire magical thinking I think! I’m loving berries lately, this looks delicious 🙂 not sure which movie Id pick as my dream life now, but when I was little I thought Lois Lane had a pretty nice situation 🙂
Flying around with a hot guy sounds pretty nice to me too. 🙂
YUM YUM YUM YUM YUM! This sounds so goooooooood! I have never tried quinoa as my crumble, but I bet it is way better than oats, because it is more crunchy! I know these things are happening for a reason my friend, and you are so inspiring with how you keep moving forward, you are tough lady 🙂 Stay strong 🙂
Thanks Tina! I found out today I have another stress fracture so I really needed to hear that because I’m pretty down right now.
This sounds so good! Honestly you are so creative with your recipes. Ever think of making an ebook or publish something with your most popular recipes?
Thank you Daisy! Actually a cookbook is on my list of wanna do’s. It’s a matter of finding the time!
Yes, I actually really liked that movie. 🙂 This dessert looks delicious. I am loving all the fresh berries lately! Pinned to make later.
Hope you get to try it Lauren! It’s really yummy!
Great post I always imagine I am characters but not lol great recipe I love a good quinoa recipe! Lots of love C
I get it. Parts of you are and parts of you are no the characters. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could piece together what we want to be? Lol
Love the incorporation of berries into this dish! Sounds like an absolute treat : ) Thanks for sharing!
Glad you like it Jamie!
This looks amazing Megan! I love the idea of cooking with quinoa for a protein boost. Sometimes I feel like it’s not enough for me on it’s own as my protein + carb in a salad, but I would totally incorporate it into baking. Plus, for me, there is no better comfort food than crumble. I haven’t seen that movie – but should!!!
It’s a cute movie, I’m sure you’d like it! Although right now I want to see the new Magic Mike XXL movie. Now that looks delicious!
That looks amazing!!! My dream ;life – any life without monetary debts! 🙂
You know I’ve never thought about no debt as my dream life, but it honestly is. Wouldn’t it be nice!
Oh yay for quinoa!! I love using quinoa like this, it’s such a healthy ingredient that I love! The berries in this look so amazing! Love how simple this is to make and still healthy!
Glad you like it Sam! It’s a nice treat for the summer. I can never get enough berries.
I tell you what, my relationship with this would not be complicated. At all. This looks AMAZING!!
Hahaha! I love your play on words Susie!
This looks like a tasty dessert for 4th of july! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Glad you like it Bethany!
That looks incredibly sweet and delicious! Maybe I would wake up earlier if I had that awaiting me for breakfast ;). Love the Meryl Streep reference, I adore her also!
I feel like Meryl Streep is timeless and full of so much compassion. I will forever want to be here no matter what character she plays.
I’d totally take a California home too 🙂
What a delicious recipe! I love the berry flavors in it.
Thanks for linking up for Meatless Monday! I hope to connect more in the future.
recipe pinned!
I’d love to connect more with you, Julie!
This looks amazingly delicious! Thanks for sharing at the #homemattersparty this week. We’re glad to have you.
Thanks Amanda! Glad you loved the crumble.
This looks like food from heaven and I am sure it taste like that too.Because I can’t get quiona I would to know if I can replace it with rye?
Replacing the quinoa with oats may work, not sure about rye though I’ve never used it. I can’t attest to how either will turn out as I haven’t made it myself that way.
