Warm Quinoa Breakfast

Oatmeal sometimes feels a little heavy for me in the morning. So when I want a warm breakfast on a cold day, quinoa is a personal favorite.

¾ cup cooked quinoa
½ cup unsweetened almond milk or any/ other milk/ water
1 tbs raw honey or maple syrup
1 tbs goji berries
1 tbs raw walnuts
¼- banana, sliced
Sprinkle of cinnamon

Combine quinoa, milk, honey and goji berries in a small saucepan and place over a medium-low heat.  Once the mixture comes to a boil, turn it down to a simmer and allow it to cook for 3-5 minutes, until the porridge has thickened a bit and is heated through.

 Stir in walnuts and bananas and top with cinnamon.

Have an energetic and satiated morning!
