Apple Cinnamon Quinoa

I love this recipe for a quick breakfast. I made it up as a quick alternative to oatmeal. I can set the quinoa to cook while I do my makeup in the mornings. I like the apple cinnamon version, but you can really change the mix-ins to suit your own tastes or for variation throughout the seasons.

Apple Cinnamon Quinoa Reviews

• This was just okay to me. I did need to add a splash of almond milk to it before eating, as it was really dry.

• Used ground cinnamon instead and did not add chia seeds. Was surprisingly good to taste
