Breakfast Quinoa

I mix this up on a Sunday and take it to work through the week for an easy, healthy breakfast at my desk. Feel free to play with the fruit mixtures, I have tried dried apricots, pears and kiwi as well. I just add the yogurt before I leave for work.

Breakfast Quinoa

I can't remember where I found the recipe...

Ingredients

  1. 1 cup quinoa, uncooked and rinsed
    1 cup water
    1 cup apricot nectar (or other nectar, no extra sugar added)
    2 apples, cored, diced
    1 cup blueberries, rinsed
    2 tbsp chopped walnuts
    2 cups plain yogurt (nonfat, no sugar added)

Directions

1. Bring rinsed quinoa, water and nectar to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Let cook until all liquid is absorbed, about 10-15 minutes.

2. Remove from heat and let cool. Once quinoa is completely cool, toss with diced apples, blueberries, and chopped walnuts. Top with yogurt just before serving.

 

Makes 4 servings.
