A popular breakfast beverage in South America, make this mixture at night and reheat in the morning. It's a thick, slightly sweet drink full of nutrients and protein from the quinoa. From the Whole Planet Foundation. I haven't tried this yet, so putting it here for safekeeping! It sounds good!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup uncooked quinoa
2 cups soymilk
2 apples, peeled, cored and quartered
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1. Place quinoa and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer 15 minutes or until quinoa is tender.
2. Drain well and return quinoa to saucepan.
3. Add soymilk, apples, sugar and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer 5 minutes.
