Ingredients

  • 60 mL (¼ cup) white quinoa
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) coconut milk
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) water
  • 1 mL (¼ teaspoon) vanilla extract
  • 2.5 mL (½ teaspoon) ground cinnamon
  • 15 mL (1 tablespoon) maple syrup
  • 30 mL (2 tablespoons) hemp seeds
  • 60 mL (¼ cup) chia seeds
  • 250 mL (1 cup) frozen mixed berries

 

Note: To make this a higher protein breakfast, you can add 125 mL (½ cup) of Greek yogurt.

Preparation

  1. In a saucepan, combine quinoa, coconut milk, water, vanilla, cinnamon, and maple syrup. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and set aside, covered. The quinoa, unlike when cooked in water, remains crunchy.

  3. To serve, spoon quinoa into 2 bowls and top with berries and seed mixture.
