Did you know apples and cinnamon naturally boost metabolism? I love the crunchy, nutty texture of breakfast quinoa, it’s a great substitution for those of you who don’t like oatmeal. Plus quinoa is the only grain that is also a complete protein.
Try this metabolism boosting, delicious apple pie flavored breakfast this week and curb your sweet tooth early in the day.
Rinse quinoa in cold water, drain and move to a small sauce pot. Add the apple sauce, water, ½ of the chopped apple, cinnamon and nutmeg to the pot and mix together.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. When all the liquid is absorbed (about 15 minutes) it’s ready to serve.
Stir in the rest of the chopped apple and serve, drizzle a little maple syrup over the top or top with almonds if you like.
