Healthy Breakfast Recipe

Have you ever heard of 'Quinoa' (KEEN-wah)? Well, I hadn't until today. I came across this recipe on Martha Stewarts website. It is sort of like oatmeal and very high in protein. Right under Buckwheat until cooked which then makes it the highest protein grain. If you want to read more about it you can go visit her website here. The recipe below will help you prepare it for a lovely, healthy breakfast. Not to mention it's perfect for breakfast after working out! Enjoy!

Recipe:

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole or low-fat milk, plus more for serving
  • 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
  • 3 tablespoons light-brown sugar, plus more for serving
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for serving
  • 1 cup (1/2 pint) fresh blueberries, plus more for serving

Directions

  1. Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until three-quarters of the milk has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  2. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Cook, covered, until almost all the milk has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in blueberries, and cook for 30 seconds. Serve with additional milk, sugar, cinnamon, and blueberries.
