Quinoa for Breakfast

Promise you will want to ditch oatmeal for this recipe
Quinoa is awesome! Why not eat it for breakfast?! It is a complete protein which means it contains all nine essential amino acids and it's full of other vitamins and minerals. We tried it this paste weekend and I'm hooked.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add the coconut oil in a saucepan over high heat, then add the quinoa and stir until it starts popping and turns golden brown. Then add 1 cup of the coconut milk, the 1/2 cup water, 1/2 tsp. of the vanilla, and the cinnamon. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 12 minutes.

Remove from the heat. Stir in 2 tsp. of the maple syrup, chia seeds, and the remaining 1/2 cup (4 fl. oz./125 ml) coconut milk.
- 3
To serve, spoon the hot quinoa into bowls. Drizzle with the walnut butter and spoon the warm blueberries over the quinoa. Top with the banana, walnuts, and coconut. Serve almond milk.
