Breakfast Quinoa

I have never been much of a porridge fan, in fact I find porridge quite boring.  Anyway, I came across this recipe on the Committed to Get Fit page and put my own twist on it.  This particular recipe serves four, so you can either make to 1/4 batch or divide into four portions and reheat each morning. This is fast becoming one of my favourite breakfast treats.



Ingredients: 1 cup almond, rice, or skim milk; 1 cup water; 1 cup quinoa/amaranth mix, rinsed (you can get it from Sprout or any health food store); 1 pear (which has been stewed with mixed spice) or 2 cups of berries; 1 tsp vanilla; 1 tsp. ground cinnamon; 1 tsp LSA; 1 tsp Wheat germ; 4 tsp honey or rice syrup (optional).
Combine milk, water, and quinoa in a medium saucepan.  Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for about 5 minutes (being sure to stir occasionally). Stir in berries/pear and vanilla; transfer to 4 bowls and top with LSA, cinnamon and wheatgerm. If desired, drizzle 1 teaspoon preferred sweetener over each serving.
