Looking for a filling and nutritious breakfast but slightly bored with oatmeal? You’ll love this protein-packed breakfast quinoa! Have fun with toppings!
In a small saucepan, bring milk and water to rapid simmer over medium high heat. Add quinoa, chia seed, and cinnamon, stirring to combine.
Simmer with cover on over medium-low heat for 12-14 minutes, stirring frequently, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and quinoa tails start to appear.
Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 5-10 minutes.
Top with desired sweetener, fruit, and milk and enjoy immediately.
