Quinoa Breakfast Bowl....YUMMO

Here's a nice change from oatmeal. It's really great, and the best part? Quinoa is a complete protein. Enjoy!

I usually make 1/4 cup, but I'll post the recipe for a 1/2 then you will have enough to either share or have a larger serving for yourself :)

*1/2 cup quinoa (if it's not pre rinsed or you're not sure if it is, make sure you rinse it really well or it will be bitter)
*1 cup non-dairy milk (I like mine best with almond milk or coconut milk)
*Vanilla
*Cinnamon
*Honey (optional - if your milk is sweetened, you may not need or want the honey)

- In a pot, combine your quinoa with your non dairy milk (you can add a pinch of salt if you like). Bring to a boil with the lid off, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
- Scoop your cooked quinoa breakfast into a bowl and add a little more milk if you want. Stir in the vanilla, cinnamon and honey. Enjoy!
