Ingredients
1
cup
quinoa
2
cups
non-fat milk or milk substitute
pinch of salt
3
tbsp
maple syrup, honey or agave nectar
1/2
lemon zested
1
cup
blueberries
2
tsp
flax seed or chia seed or slivered almonds
Instructions
With a fine strainer, rinse quinoa until water runs clear and is no longer frothy
Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes
Stir quinoa and salt into the milk
Cover pot and simmer over medium-low heat until much of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes
Keep an eye on the pot because milk does have a tendency to boil over
Do not cook all the liquid out of the quinoa
Remove saucepan from heat
Stir maple syrup and lemon zest into the quinoa mixture
Gently fold blueberries into the mixture
Divide into bowls and top each with bowl with 1 tsp flax seeds or almonds
