Quinoa Breakfast Bowl

If I havent mentioned it before, I am a big fan of Quinoa. It's one of the best ancient grains you can nourish your body with. Here are a few facts about this little wonder grain. - It is one of the most protein packed foods to eat. Containing all 9 essiential amino acids.

- It contains twice as much fiber than any other grain.

- Quinoa contains Iron.

- It contains Lysine.

- Quinoa is rich in Magnesium.

- It's high in Riboflavin (B2)- Quinoa has a high content in Maganease.

It is a mighty universal grain. It's even great for breakfast! Here is my version of a recipe for Quinoa Breakfast Bowl:

• 1 c. organic red & white quinoa (rinse before using)

• 1 1/2 tbs. agave nectar or your favorite sweetner

• 1/4 c. unsalted raw nut/nuts of your choice (I'm personally a fan of sunflower or pepitas)

• 1/2 tsp cinnimon (optional)

Mix ingredients together and stir a little

• Add just enough water to let the grains swim. Sorry, I didn’t measure this part.

Microwave for 4 minutes *Imprortant* Make sure to use a bowl deep enough. When cooking grains, they tend to bubble over quite a bit. Once done, stir. Microwave again for 3 minutes. When done, cover with a plate in microwave and let sit for a 2-3 minutes.

• add 1/4 c. of almond milk (or whatever your choice is)

Stir. X O - Enjoy!
