Warm and Nutty Cinnamon Quinoa Recipe

This recipe was recently given to us to use by one of our Lansing City Market friends. It is a fabulous hot cereal to start the day. Packed with protein, calcium, and fiber this recipe can serve four people.

• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup organic quinoa (rinse quinoa before cooking)
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 11/3 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in blueberries and cinnamon. Sweeten with your sweetener of choice - I recommend Xagave. Top with pecans or walnuts. You can use other fruits like cherries and top with almonds!
