This delicious, colorful, heart-healthy breakfast by registered dietitian Sarah-Jane Bedwell is sure to taste great and to help get your day started healthfully and enjoyably.
Quinoa is one of those foods that I want to eat more often because it truly is a superfood! Not only is it a fiber-rich whole grain, but it also is the only grain that is a complete protein all on its own. I had heard people talk about enjoying quinoa as a breakfast food, but I had never tried it myself until recently. Today, I am enjoying the recipe below for breakfast, and I hope you will try it too! It’s sweet, creamy, and healthy!
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups almond milk (I used Silk Pure Almond Vanilla Almondmilk)
1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 tsp orange zest, finely grated
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions: In a small saucepan, combined the quinoa and almond milk and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over low heat until the milk has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. Lightly fluff the quinoa with a fork; add the walnuts, cranberries, orange zest and cinnamon and stir well until heated through. Yield: 4 servings.
