This is an easy, high-protein recipe that makes use of your fridge and/or freezer as fast-food accomplices. Since it’s pink, it can hold its own against the artificially dyed breakfast cereals we’re trying not to let our kids eat.
Active time: 7 minutes
Time to taste: 7 minutes
Servings: 4
No: gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, nuts
ingredients
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- Enough water to warm it up
- 3/4– 1 cup of strawberries and/or cherries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 tsp. agave nectar or honey
- Hempseed and/or freshly ground flaxseed
how to make it
- Heat up the quinoa in a bit of water until it’s the perfect “hot breakfast cereal consistency” and temperature.
- Turn off the heat, and add the fruit, mixing and mushing. If you’re adding sweetener do that now, too.
- Spoon into bowls, and add hemp seed and/or ground flaxseed on top for a great addition of protein and Omega-3s.
helping hands
If you’re using fresh fruit, let the kids wash it. Otherwise, let them pour it from the frozen container.
notes
- Another great thing about this breakfast is that it’s so high in fiber, and calcium—great things to start a day right!
- I like to add a bit of ghee at the end, since I think it makes the dish so much richer. (for more info on ghee, check out our Ghee video)
- If a pink cereal isn’t your goal, you can add blueberries for a purple cereal, or any fruit your family favors.
