Quinoa breakfast

As I was preparing for the week, I knew I worked a lot of mornings so I needed something to fuel my morning.  If we are busy at work, its hard to sneak away to grab lunch so its often a granola bar or something in between patients.  I came across this recipe on 101cookbooks.com thought I would give it a try.  I did make a few modifications due to what I had in the kitchen and also added some nut butter.  Overall not a bad breakfast that you can make the night before.  Makes 2 servings.  It tasted better then the picture looks.  




1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup almond butter
1 tsp agave nectar 
1 cup berries

1.  boil the water, almond milk and quinoa in a small saucepan.  Once it reaches a boil, turn down to low heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes
2.  After cooking, add in the cinnamon, almond butter and agave.  
3.  At this point I refrigerate until needed.
4.  Just prior to eating, heat up and fold in the berries.
