Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cup water
  • 1/2 cup raw quinoa
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice or unsweetened creamer
  • sweetener of choice
  • optional handful raisins, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, etc.
  • optional 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • The sweetener amount will depend on your tastebuds and whether you use sweetened or unsweetened milk. Add sweetener either before or after cooking.
    To make breakfast quinoa bowls, first rinse and drain the quinoa in a fine mesh strainer. Bring all ingredients except the milk to a boil in a saucepan. Once boiling, turn to a simmer and cover 20 minutes or until fluffy. Stir in the milk or cream, and return to a boil over medium heat, stirring frequently until quinoa reaches your desired texture and thickness. Toppings can be added at any time while cooking or to garnish the finished breakfast quinoa.
