For a quick breakfast, grab a container of pre-made quinoa and toss in some fruit of your choice. Top with a sprinkling of nuts. We are still thinking healthy, and eating right is definitely the way to go. The best way to start the day is with a satisfying breakfast, the first meal of the day and the most important meal of the day.
We all have the same excuses and say the same things every morning “I don’t have time to eat,” “I don’t like cereal,” “I’m not hungry when I wake up.” There are plenty of reasons that people skip breakfast ... but not anymore!
Quinoa is a highly nutritious carbohydrate that is not only going to help you stay lean, but is great at keeping your energy levels high. It has so many textures all rolled into one. Its fluffy, creamy and crunchy with a nutty-like flavor.
Quinoa is mostly thought of as a grain, but is actually seed-like, a relative of leafy green vegetables, like spinach and Swiss chard. It can be prepared in a savory way as well, with anything from roasted vegetables to spicy serrano chiles.
Served hot or cold, this is a food we just love; so put down that bowl of oatmeal and try something new!!
We have made this scrumptious breakfast even easier by filling half pint jelly jars, enough for a few days, for a quick grab-“n”-go and easy storage for the fridge. So today join us for a quick and healthy recipe from our “Slim&Trim” with the Twice Baked Twins recipe collection, Breakfast Quinoa! Enjoy!
3 cups white quinoa, cooked according to package directions
1/2 to 1 cup vanilla almond milk (we used Silk brand); use more if you like a loose cereal
2 tablespoons agave or honey
1 cup dried fruit, of your choice, or diced fresh fruit if you have it
a sprinkle of roasted nuts, almonds, pecans or walnuts
Mix together the cooked quinoa, milk and honey to taste. Add fruit and a sprinkle of nuts. Be creative, add anything you like. It’s your creation — have fun!
