Breakfast Quinoa

Recipe #16: Breakfast Quinoa with Strawberries and Cream

Quinoa is a favorite in our house, but this is the first time I've made a sweet version. We usually have it mexican-style with black beans, green chilies, tomatoes, and avocados. I'll post that recipe as soon as I make it again and get a decent photo. I love the versatility of this grain, and the healthiness of it is an added bonus.


I was out of milk this morning, but had some cream on hand (a perk of being a coffee addict), so I made some improvisations. I omitted the milk and put about 1 cup of cream in, but otherwise followed this recipe. I thought it was still very creamy, and we topped it with fresh strawberries. It was a tasty breakfast, and a fun alternative to oatmeal or another hot cereal. If you like Cream of Wheat, I suggest giving it a try.
