Quinoa Porridge

Normally served for dinner, don’t overlook quinoa as a unique breakfast “cereal.” With eight grams of complete protein per cup, it helps fill the morning nutrient void. This is for one serving; do the math for more. Lower the fat with different milk.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/3 cup dry quinoa
• 1/4 Medium Apple
• 1 tbsp Golden Raisins
• 1 tbsp Natural Almond Butter
• 3/4 cup of milk
• 1/4 tsp Cardamom
• 1/4 tsp Cinnamon, Ground

DIRECTIONS

1. Add the quinoa, chopped apple, golden raisins, almond butter, whole milk, cardamom and ground cinnamon to a medium saucepan. 
2. Cook the quinoa according to manufacturers directions (using milk, instead of water). 
3. This dish can also be enjoyed warm or cold the next day.
