Quinoa Breakfast Cereal

"Quinoa (pronounced Kin-wa) is an ancient grain that was a staple food of the ancient Incas of South America. This recipe is a cooked cereal somewhat like oatmeal, but even healthier! It is gluten-free and according to Bob's Red Mill (the brand of quinoa I used), is the most nutrious of all grains. The added flax meal is for boosting your omega-3s. I make this on the weekend, and then reheat a bowl in the microwave."

  1. I cut this recipe by half as its just me eating it and was unsure if I would like it but I thought is was very very nice and I have another serving for this evening before bed which is just great. I added a spoonful of peanut butter and I didn't have any apricots so I subed with dry cherries I will be using this for breakfast alternately from now on. Thank you for posting.
