Description

Quinoa is rich in protein, fiber, minerals, immune boosters, and other phytonutrients. And this superfood makes the perfect healthy, nourishing, comforting winter breakfast bowl.

This recipe keeps it simple with a classic apple, cinnamon, raisin mix.

Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup quinoa (rinsed)
  • 2 cup unsweeted almond milk
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 medium apple (diced)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tbsp walnuts or almonds (chopped for garnish)
  • 1 tbsp raisins (sprinkle on top)
  • 1 sprinkle stevia (optional)
Instructions
  1. Cook the quinoa
    • Combine the quinoa, almond milk, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan.
    • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 15–20 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  2. Add diced apples 10-12 minutes in
    • Add the diced apple and cinnamon 10-12 minutes into quinoa cooking time.
    • Stir gently.
    • Add a splash of milk or water, if needed.
  3. Sweeten when almost finished (optional)
    • Add a sprinkle of stevia and a tsp of honey or maple syrup
    • Cook for another 2 - 3 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Serve it up
    • Divide into two portions (for you or someone else, or save a portion for another day).
    • Top each with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts and a few raisins.
