Red quinoa…
…for breakfast?
Yesss!
I bet you never thought about Quinoa as a breakfast choice, right?
Just like Oats, Oat Bran, or Amaranth, quinoa is a great choice. It’s a complex carb which means it’ll take a bit longer to digest, fueling your body for the day away or an AM sweat sesh.
So, what exactly is in the bowl? Here’s what is in this super fast and easy gluten-free pre-workout breakfast of Quinoa: 1/2 cup Red Quinoa, 1/4 apple, thinly sliced, organic raisins, dash of ground cinnamon, stevia (to taste), fresh chopped walnuts, flax seeds, and unsweetened almond milk.
What You’ll Need
1/4 cup Red Quinoa (uncooked)
1 cup water
pinch of sea salt
1/2 apple, thinly sliced
1/2 small box of organic raisins
dash of ground cinnamon
Maple syrup or stevia (to taste)
4 chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon flax seeds
1 tablespoon hemp seeds
4 oz cold unsweetened coconut milk (or milk of choice)
What You’ll Need To Know
Combine your Quinoa, water, salt in a lidded sauce pan. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer on low with the lid on for 15 minutes.
When your Quinoa is cooked, stir in your raisins, flax seeds, hemp seeds, a dash of cinnamon and sweetener of choice.
Serve in a deep bowl and top with sliced apples, and cold milk of choice.
