Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 1 c quinoa
- 2 c almond milk
- 1⁄2 t pure almond extract
- 1⁄2 c blueberries (I used wild frozen)
- 1 banana
- 4 tsp maple syrup
- 2 TBS coconut oil
- cinnamon to taste
- sea salt. to taste
Directions
- Rinse the quinoa a lot. It's got natural pesticide coating it. It won't make you sick but it tastes terrible.
- Shake out the water.
- Add quinoa to a sauce pan.
- Toss it around over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes to toast the quinoa and let some of the water evaporate.
- Add milk.
- Stir in blueberries.
- Bring to boil.
- Turn heat superlow, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Take off burner for 5 minutes.
- Remove lid and fork fluff.
- Spoon into bowls.
- Slice bananas over it.
- Drizzle a little maple syrup and (about 1/2 melted TBS per bowl) coconut oil over it. Seriously, do not be a punk and skip the coconut oil! It's a healthy fat and takes this cereal over the moon.
- Add a supershake of cinnamon. The spice makes this taste even sweeter so you don't need as much maple syrup. I also added a dash of sea salt because I love salty sweet.
- Enjoy some today and save some for tomorrow, if you can.
