Blueberry Lemon Quinoa for Breakfast
Ingredients List
-
1 cup quinoa
-
2 cups nonfat milk
-
1 pinch salt
-
3 tablespoons maple syrup
-
½ lemon, zested
-
1 cup blueberries
-
2 teaspoons flax seed
Instructions
-
Rinse quinoa under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer to eliminate any bitterness. Keep rinsing until the water runs clear and free from foam.
-
Heat milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add quinoa and salt, then cook over medium-low heat until most of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in maple syrup and lemon zest. Gently fold in blueberries.
-
Spoon the quinoa mixture into two bowls and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon of flaxseed before serving.
