Quinoa Breakfast Cereal
Pronounced “keen-wah,” this protein-packed grain contains every amino acid, and is particularly rich in lysine, which promotes healthy tissue growth throughout the body. Quinoa is also a good source of iron, magnesium, vitamin E, potassium, and fiber. It looks a bit like couscous and is as versatile as rice, but quinoa has a richer, nuttier flavor than either of them.
Since I'm staying away from Gluten & Dairy, Quinoa has been a fab breakfast replacement. Don't get me wrong, I love my Oatmeal but my tummy gets all funky after I eat it and it's due to the Gluten that it contains.
This recipe is truly delicious and I encourage you to give it a try!
1 cup milk/almond milk
1 cup water
1 cup organic quinoa, (you can use any kind you want)
1 cup blackberries or blueberries
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 cup water
1 cup organic quinoa, (you can use any kind you want)
1 cup blackberries or blueberries
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted
**This recipe is 4 servings**
Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in blackberries and cinnamon; transfer to a bowl and top with pecans. Drizzle 1 teaspoon agave/coconut sugar or any sweetener you desire. <3
