Who is always searching for easy, yet delicious and healthy sides like me? You’ve got the protein, the salad or veggies..but what to complete it?
This Apple Cinnamon Quinoa will do the trick! Complementing any meal, it is the perfect recipe to make and have on hand.
And the best part is just that, you can make a big batch of it and simply use it over and over again throughout the week!
Not only is this a great side for lunch or dinner..but its a delicious breakfast! I found this out when searching for a new breakfast carb the other day, and seeing this made in my fridge. I thought, hmm, why not? And boy I am glad I did! I simply scooped out some yogurt, cut up some fruit, and spooned some of this delicious quinoa on top!
Apple..Cinnamon..the flavors couldn’t go more perfect together. Kinda reminds me of my Apple Pumpkin Butter. Oh goodness would that be good on top of this for breakfast 🙂
