Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa uncooked
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup non-dairy milk I used unsweetened vanilla cashew milk
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 2 Tablespoons cacao nibs
- 2 Tablespoons maple syrup or to taste
- 2 cups Fruit bananas, pineapple, cantaloupe, blueberries, watermelon, honeydew and mango, fresh, chopped
Instructions
- Rinse and drain quinoa.
- Place water, almond milk and quinoa into a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, add cinnamon, vanilla and sea salt. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Watch the pot carefully because it has a tendency to want to boil over. Remove from heat and let pot sit, covered for 2-3 minutes.
- Remove lid and fluff quinoa before portioning into two bowls. Top with cacao nibs, fresh fruit and a drizzle of maple syrup. You can also add additional milk if you want more moisture.
