Serves 1-2 {depending on your appetite} Being a "grain" which contains loads of protein, Quinoa is very nutritious way to start your day. This recipe is very adaptable...you can use any fruit {apples, pears, apricots}, milk {whole, skim, soy}, or sweetener {agave, brown sugar, stevia} here. It would also be great with some chopped nuts on top! 1/2 cup quinoa {rinsed + drained} 1 1/2 cups milk 1 tablespoon maple syrup {or to taste} pinch of ground cinnamon 1/2 cup mixed fresh berries sliced banana Bring the milk and quinoa to a simmer in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a simmer, cover the pot, and cook until the quinoa is tender, and most of the milk has been absorbed {about 15 minutes}. Remove from heat, and stir in the maple syrup and cinnamon. Serve topped with berries and banana slices. 13 points plus as written above with 1 T agave and skim milk. I would use splenda and cut 2 pts.
