Quinoa breakfast

Hello friends, 

Since I like to follow paleo lifestyle in my off season, I tried this two breakfast options.  I must say both is delicious! 

Let met tell you a little bit about quinoa first! 
Quinoa is a protein rich seed, used as a grain.  Its high in amino acids, with a  nutty taste. 
Quinoa is known as a complete protein, because it contains all the amino acids, therefor, it is a good food source in a vegetarian diet. 

Quinoa breakfast with berries

You can find some vit B in quinoa, as well as antioxidants. 

There are 374 calories in 100 grams of quinoa

Calorie breakdown: FAT - 48 cal ;  Carbs  280 cal ;  Prot 45 cal

As you can see, this is really a nutritious calorie dense food.  So I keep this in my off season! 

The first recipe:  Quinoa with roasted pecans, honey, banana and Greek yogurt. 
Chop and roast the pecans in a pan until you can smell the roasted nutty flavour.  
Add the cooked quinoa in, along with some honey to taste.  

Quinoa breakfast with banana

When it is well heated, serve with chopped banana and a blob of Greek yogurt. 

The second recipe:  Quinoa with maple syrup, cinnamon, lactose free milk and blueberries.  

This is just what it is, heat the cooked quinoa and add your ingredients.
