Quinoa Breakfast Cereal

We all know how healthy and wholesome quinoa is. Try it for breakfast for protein and a substantial meal to last all morning!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • maple syrup, or sweetener of your choice
  • cinnamon
  • milk, I used almond milk
  • other add-ins of your choice: raisins, nuts, cranberries, dried fruit

Cook quinoa in water as directed – (1 cup of quinoa to 2 cups of water. Add quinoa to boiling water, reduce to simmer and cover. Cook for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.)

Add desired amount of cooked quinoa to a bowl. Add desired amount of milk; I used the very last bit of my almond milk and it ended up being about 1/3 of a cup. If you like it ā€œsoupierā€ add more.

Sprinkle with cinnamon, add sweetener and enjoy! Get creative – sub quinoa as your oatmeal and add your favorite add-ins as you would with your oats.

Enjoy!

Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I started The Clean Eating Mama back in 2008 as a place to share my love of wholesome food and healthy living. Over the years, this little corner of the internet has grown and changed right along with me.

Here you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes, thoughts on clean eating and wellness, and little pieces of my everyday life. In many ways, this blog has become a personal diary of sorts. This is a place where I can share what I’m cooking, what I’m learning, what I’m loving, and where life happens to be taking me.

Healthy living doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. For me, it’s about making choices that help us feel our best, enjoying good food, and continuing to learn and grow along the way.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, stay awhile, and welcome to The Clean Eating Mama. Read full bio.
