Breakfast Quinoa Recipe


Today I have a perfectly sweet breakfast treat for you. A couple of weeks ago I shared a recipe for a savory quinoa side dish and I promised to share a sweeter recipe using quinoa and so here it is.

Quinoa
Apple Juice
Honey Flavored Greek Yogurt
Fresh Blueberries
Fresh Nectarines
(or any fruit of your choosing)

2 cups of apple juice, add one cup of quinoa and boil for 12-13 minutes or until water is soaked and quinoa is fluffy.  Let your quinoa cool completely and then place in a container and refrigerate over night.

In the morning scoop a few large spoonfuls into a bowl, add one cup of honey Greek yogurt and fresh fruit to the top.  I personally used fresh nectarines and blueberries.  Perfectly healthy and delicious to get your day started.  Oh yeah..and it's really easy.


Enjoy!
