Quinoa Porridge

Quinoa has many health benefits, so why not add it to the breakfast table, too?! Here's a recipe from besthealthmag.ca that brings a new twist to a simple breakfast staple. Enjoy!

Quinia Porridge

• 1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup low-fat milk
• 1 small apple, diced
• 1/2 cup blueberries or sliced strawberries
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
• 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional)

1. Add quinoa, water, cinnamon and salt to a small pot and bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until most of the water has been absorbed. Add milk and simmer uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.
2. Stir in apple, berries and nuts. Let sit, covered for 10 minutes before serving. The porridge will thicken during this time. Drizzle with maple syrup before serving if desired. ENJOY!
