While I do use quinoa mostly in savory dishes, as the whole grain component of my meal, quinoa works for sweet dishes too. Turning to quinoa instead of oats in the morning is a nice change of pace, and the flavor possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Here is one of my favorite ways to prepare quinoa for breakfast.
Serves 1
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup non-dairy milk {Tip: depending on how runny you like it; I use unsweetened almond milk}
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 tablespoon nut butter of choice, such as peanut butter or almond butter
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon flaxseeds
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup, optional
- 1 teaspoon hemp protein powder
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of ground cinnamon
In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients, over medium heat, and stir until quinoa is heated through.
