Warm and nutty Cinnamon Quinoa!
Ingredients
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup water
1 cup organic quinoa, ( rinse quinoa before cooking)
2 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
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 blueberries and cinnamon (you can also add a little stevia to sweeten); transfer to four bowls and top with pecans or walnuts.
Also Try Hot Quinoa Breakfast Cereal
Ingredients1 cup quinoa 2 cups water 1/2 cup apples, thinly sliced 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or almonds 1/2 tsp cinnamon Coconut milk Stevia or honey to sweeten if desired
DirectionsIn a medium-sized bowl, soak the quinoa in cold water for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water. In a medium saucepan, combine the soaked quinoa and water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes. Add apples, nuts and cinnamon. Simmer until water is absorbed. Serve with milk (just a little over the cereal) and sweeten to taste with stevia or honey.
For me, this would be 3 servings and I would count it as my carb option and add some more protein to this breakfast meal…maybe more nuts or 1 egg.
