  1. Pretty bland. I definitely recommend adding a bit of sweetener.
     
  2. We made this for breakfast after our weekend run. I had a cup of cooked quinoa left over from earlier in the week, so I cooked up 1/3c oats in 2/3 c water with half a chopped apple for each of us, then added 1/2 cup cooked quinoa. Spiced it up with some cinnamon, honey, dried chopped figs and fresh blueberries, plus a splash of milk. Will do this more often!
     
  3. This is a great hearty and healthy breakfast treat! I halved the recipe and it made more than enough for a breakfast for one. I served with a little brown sugar and that sweet touch was great with the nutty quinoa. Thanks for sharing your recipe!
     
  4. Delicious! DD and I like this a lot. I like to use red quinoa which I toast in a dry pan like Recipe #16399 which gives it a nice additional flavour especially if using white quinoa. I leave out the dried fruit in order to consume less concentrated sugar and use additional grocery store cinnamon (I have yet to try it with real Ceylon cinnamon). I dab local raw honey over the cooked quinoa and serve with homemade almond milk. I feel the milk is essential. I will be making this again with fresh fruit instead. Not that fresh fruit and seeds (quinoa is a seed not grain) should be mixed in proper food combining.
     
  5. I thought this was a nice change from oatmeal. I didn't have an apple, so I skipped it. I used a mixture of raisins and cranraisins and a squirt of honey which my toddler loved. Should be wonderful with the apple next time I make it.
