Quinoa as oatmeal

I knew people ate quinoa for breakfast, similar to the way they ate oatmeal, but I'd never done it. Now that I've tried it, I'M HOOKED!

serves 1

What you'll need:

1/2 cup prepared quinoa

sprinkle of cinnamon

drizzle of honey, Agave, (or if you're really watching your calories, stevia)

cut up fruit of your choice

What you'll do:

1. Mix the quinoa, cinnamon and honey together in a bowl and microwave for 2 minutes.

2. Top with fruit. Bananas and mini-prunes are delicious, try raisins and apples, too. Or mango and shredded coconut, blueberries and strawberries, pear and walnut...the list goes on.
