Quinoa Porridge

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1-1/2 cups skim milk (can substitute almond, soy, rice, hemp – whatever you prefer)
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp stevia
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the quinoa. Season with cinnamon and cook until toasted, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the milk, water, Splenda (or stevia), vanilla, and salt. Bring to a boil, then cook over low heat until the porridge is thick and grains are tender, about 25 minutes.
3. Add more water if the liquid dries up before it finishes cooking. Stir occasionally, especially at the end, to prevent burning.

Bonus: Add berries, banana, apples, or nuts for extra flare.
