WILD BLUEBERRY & MAPLE BREAKFAST QUINOA WITH TOASTED PECANS
A delicious and healthy breakfast. Be sure to use wild blueberries for the best flavor. You may want to add additional pure maple syrup depending on how sweet your blueberries are. Note: I do not recommend adding the blueberries during the cooking process because it alters the flavor of the berries. Please wait to add them until after cooking the quinoa as stated in the recipe.

BREAKFAST QUINOA (COLD)
This is from Trader Joes, I had it as a sample there and thought it was a great take on healthy grains for breakfast, very different from the porridge style quinoa recipes on here.
