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 “soupier” 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!
