If you thought quinoa is for salads and sides with lunch and dinner, think again. Lately I’ve even seen quinoa warmed with milk and berries – a new take on oatmeal! Who knew! You can prep the quinoa the night before, cook the egg in about 5 minutes and be eating in 10 minutes start to finish. A healthy, filling and different take on your first meal of the day! Enjoy!
