So I made the blackberry quinoa yesterday and a friend gave me the suggestion of making it with tropical fruit. I love pineapple and coconut so of course I was more than happy to try it out! It turned out really yummy. I used canned fruit though, I can't wait until spring comes and I can get fresh fruit easily. This one is a little higher calorie, but it has a ton a fruit in it and it's super filling.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup milk/soy milk/ coconut mil/ etc
1/4 cup water
1/4 quinoa (rinsed)
1/4 cup pineapple or 2 rings cut into chunks
1/4 cup mandarin oranges (I used a fruit cup)
2 tablespoons coconut
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.
