It was a really interesting bowl of oatmeal! I don't know where to find quinoa flakes so I threw some whole quinoa in my food chopper to get some roughly cut pieces that would soften faster. I used silk tofu because I didn't have vegetable protein, and some frozen blueberries and honey to sweeten it and just used plain soymilk and nuked it all together. Made for a nice fast breakfast!
