BREAKFAST QUINOA BANANA CRUNCH


It is best to start the morning with some nutrition, and Protein is often forgotten amongst the typical boxed cereals and pancake breakfasts. This little treat is an excellent oatmeal replacer (for those allergic to oats) and is packed full of protein!


BREAKFAST QUINOA BANANA CRUNCH


1/2 cup (just under) Quinoa

1/2 cup Water

1 tablespoon Agave Nectar (or other sweetener)

dash of Salt

1/4 cup Rice Milk


1 Banana (optional)

Granola Cereal (optional)


Cook Quinoa as usual (bring water to a boil, add Quinoa and a little salt, let simmer for approx. 13 minutes). Add the Agave Nectar and Rice Milk and cook for another 2 minutes. Transfer contents into a bowl with some fruit of your choice to add a little sweetness to the Quinoa, personally I love Bananas in the morning. Now, remember that Granola Cereal Recipe? Well, grab a hand-full and mix it in for that yummy Crunch! ^_^ I also have flaxseed oil in the morning which mixes in nicely (p.s. do not heat the flaxseed oil). Voila, yummy protein Breakfast! ^_^ This serves one person--it is a big bowl though.
