Heavenly Breakfast Quinoa

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1/2 small banana
    2 teaspoon peanut butter
    1/2 cup quinoa, cooked
    1 tablespoon flax seeds, ground
    a few splashes of soy milk

Directions:

Mash the banana right in your breakfast bowl with a fork and then stir in the peanut butter.

Stir in the quinoa and flax seeds and then add soymilk to taste.

This can be eaten cold or hot.  I make up a pot of quinoa at the beginning of the week and I get excited about eating this for breakfast every day. Nothing like a little fiber, protein, whole grain start to a day!

Serves: 1

Preparation time:  5 minutes

This was great! Yummy and packed with protein and iron! I didn't even use a splash of soymilk. I was so excited for it that I don't think I let the quinoa cook for quite long enough though, but it didn't even matter. The same recipe works great with oatmeal too.

It was pretty heavenly, but the peanut butter didn't make sense to my tastebuds at first.  As the warm quinoa blended flavors a bit it was much better - probably better as leftovers - heat it all up together in the microwave.

I still probably won't use peanut butter next time - quinoa is already a complete protein by itself, and, in fact, has the best balance of amino acids of all proteins according to my sources!

Looking at the recipe, it seems to me that the main purpose of the pb is not as a protein source, so much as a source for some essential fats and more calories (ie make you feel full/satisfied longer). For the past several years, I've had trouble with keeping weight on, so recipes like this help me to "sneak" more fat and calories into my diet in a healthy manner.

has anyone ever tried cooking quinoa in soymilk? the thought occurred to me as i was eating oatmeal this morning, wondering if quinoa could be cooked the same way.. as if it wasn't delicious enough already!

to the previous post -
i have been cooking quinoa in half soymilk/half water for months.  i refrigerate it overnite, and the next morning just add more soymilk like cereal:)  im sure it would taste just as fine if you cooked in all soymilk tho.  good luck!

this was surprisingly good, I had doubts because I don't care for oatmeal or anything mushy like for breakfast but this was ok and I will probably have it again!

Fantastic! Just the sort of satisfying thing I want in the morning. This allowed me to finish up all the quinoa I had in my house (I'm in major cleanup mode.) I might try it with another grain. I have barley and couscous that I'd like to try to finish--I'm leaning toward the couscous.

Very good and filling breakfast. Had it for the first time today. I don’t know about “heavenly” though, but it was still delicious. The peanut butter gave it just the right kick to start my day. Will make again.

I liked this. Not my favorite but it was good. I'de have to say the same as Godot. The peanut butter didn't make much sence to my taist buds. And to much protein with the two mixxed together. But I'll try this again with other stuff.  Wink
