Cream of Quinoa

One of my favorite combinations is cooking the quinoa in coconut milk and then topping with berries, coconut and toasted almonds. I chop half a banana and stir it into the quinoa during the last 30 seconds of cooking. It offers natural sweetness and a bit more heft to my morning meal. A pinch or two of sea salt and a drizzle or sprinkle of your favorite sweetener finishes this bowl off perfectly!

Yields one serving.
