Ingredients
  

Quinoa
  • 1 cup almond milk (I use MALK Organics Vanilla Almond Milk)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup rinsed, uncooked quinoa
  • 4 scoops vanilla collagen or protein powder of choice (I use Further Food Vanilla Collagen)
  • 1 tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
Cinnamon Apples
  • 2 apples
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
Optional Toppings
  • cinnamon
  • milk
  • nut butter
  • chia seeds
  • cacao nibs
  • hemp seeds
  • sea salt

Method
 

  1. Rinse and drain quinoa then set aside.
  2. Warm milk of choice, water, vanilla and coconut oil on the stove until warm. Once warm, whisk in the collagen (it dissolves better in warm liquids) or protein powder until completely dissolved.
  3. Once boiling, add the quinoa and reduce the heat. Follow the instructions for your quinoa, but typically you’ll place a tight fitting lid on the pot and cook for about 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork once cooked, then stir in the cinnamon.
  4. While the quinoa cookes, prepare the apples. In a skillet over medium heat, add cubed apples, coconut oil and cinnamon to the apples and sauté until blistered.
  5. Add your quinoa to a bowl and top with apples and toppings of choice. I like to use a pour of almond milk, spoonful of peanut butter, sprinkle of sea salt and extra cinnamon!

Notes

To reheat, keep the quinoa and apples in the fridge and microwave for 45 seconds! It’s great to have prepped for busy mornings and will last for a few servings.
