Blackberry Quinoa


I have wanted to try to incorporate more quinoa in my diet. I was told about eating as a breakfast cereal so I thought I would experiment. This is what I came up with. It's nice and fruity, but it's also filling and satisfying. I also pit a little cinnamon on top and it reminded me of blackberry cobbler. So try it and let me know what you think about this recipe. 

INGREDIENTS
·         1/4 cup low fat milk/ soy milk/ almond milk etc.
·         1/4 cup water
·         1/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
·         1 cup blackberries
·         1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
·         2 teaspoons honey or sweetener
DIRECTIONS
Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in berries and cinnamon.
