Hot Quinoa Breakfast Cereal

 

Ingredients 1 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

Directions In 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.
