Breakfast Quinoa Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of quinoa
- 2 cups of milk (you can use any type of milk you prefer)

- 1 cup of mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, etc.)
Instructions:
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
- Once it’s boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all of the milk. Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
