Do you like variety for breakfast?
I have more gratitude for breakfast now that I am an adult. I really like that I can make different things for breakfast depending on my mood or my activities for the day. I will eat more protein on the mornings after working out or if I know the day is going to be super busy. I find that certain meals will help me have a clear mind because I am not constantly thinking about food. This is one of my favorite meals because it is a hearty breakfast and the quinoa is a different consistency from oatmeal and malt o’ meal. Quinoa has a nuttier flavor, is a complete protein, and goes well with many different meals. This recipe is also one of my favorite ways to use Honeyville’s apple cinnamon honey syrup. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do!
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa
1/3 cup blueberries
Half a banana
1/3 cup walnuts crushed
2 Tbsp. apple cinnamon syrup
1 Tbsp. of butter or a sprinkle of sea salt
Directions:
-Clean the quinoa; place the quinoa in a bowl and pour water on top. Use a spoon to move the water around washing the quinoa. Place the quinoa and water in a strainer, rinse the quinoa. Then, place the quinoa back into the bowl. Poor water on top again and stir with a spoon; let this sit for 10 minutes. Put the quinoa into the strainer and rinse one last time.
-Place the quinoa in a pot with 2 cups of water. Turn the heat to medium heat and let cook for about 15-20 minutes. All of the water should be gone and the quinoa should be nice and fluffy.
-Depending on how hungry you are; dish ½ c- ¾ c of the cooked quinoa into a bowl.
-Add the blueberries and sliced banana
-Drizzle the apple cinnamon syrup on top.
– Add a little butter or a sprinkle of sea salt on top
-ENJOY!
