How to Make Low Calorie Breakfast Quinoa
You want to cook the quinoa until it’s almost done, but not quite. This is because the protein powder needs some liquid, so keep an eye on your quinoa.
And if you let it cook too long you can always add 1-2 tablespoons of water to the quinoa along with the protein powder!


How to Make Healthy Breakfast Quinoa:
- Rinse quinoa in cold water, drain and move to a small sauce pot. Add the water, and ½ of the coconut flakes.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. When all the liquid is almost all absorbed absorbed (about 10 minutes) adding the protein powder and mix well.
- Scoop into bowls, and top with blueberries, walnuts, and the remaining coconut flakes.
