HOT QUINOA CEREAL

A great alternative to oatmeal in the morning, quinoa's protein is of an unusually high quality. It is a complete protein, with an essential amino acid balance close to the ideal. So it makes the perfect breakfast food! I got the idea for this dish from: http://www.celiacteen.com/2010/chai-infused-quinoa-flakes/

Time 4m

Yield 2 cups, 1-2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1/3 cup quinoa flakes
1 cup rice milk or 1 cup water
1 tablespoon maple syrup or 1 tablespoon agave nectar
1/4 cup dried fruit
2 tablespoons nuts, chopped

Steps:

Combine quinoa flakes with liquid of your choice in a 2 - 2 1/2 cup microwaveable bowl -- I used a combination of rice milk and coconut milk the first time I made this.
Microwave for 2 1/2 mins watching closely so it doesn't boil over. Use a larger bowl if you want to avoid a potential mess.
Add in dried fruit, nuts, and sweetener (honey, agave nectar, maple syrup, sugar).
Let stand for a few minutes or until it's at a temperature you can comfortably consume it without burning your mouth!

Usually served in savory side dishes, quinoa -- a high-protein seed -- also makes a wonderful hot cereal.
