Quinoa with Berries for Breakfast

Being  a "grain" which contains loads of protein, Quinoa is very nutritious way  to start your day.  This recipe is very adaptable...you can use any  fruit {apples, pears, apricots}, milk {whole, skim, soy}, or sweetener  {agave, brown sugar, stevia} here.  It would also be great with some  chopped nuts on top!

Serves 4

Healthy Ingredients

2 cups quinoa, rinsed

4 cups water

1 pinch nutmeg

1 tsp grated ginger

1 tbsp flax seed oil

1 cup fresh berries

1/4 cup almond milk (per bowl)

Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover the pot and simmer for 10 minutes.

Stir in the almond milk. Cover again and cook another 5 minutes.

Before serving, stir in 1 tbsp of flax seed oil and berries.
