Apple Cinnamon Quinoa

Tired of boring oatmeal?  Don't want to ingest all of the processed junk in commercial cereal? Then check this out.  This is a very nutritious and filling way to start your day.

You will need:
-1 cup plain quinoa
-1 cup non-dairy milk
-1 cup water
-2 red apples - diced
-1/4 cup organic maple syrup
-1/4 cup slivered almonds
-1/4 cup chopped walnuts
-Cinnamon (to taste)


What to do:
-Cook quinoa with 1 cup water, i cup non-dairy milk (I used almond milk).
-Once the quinoa is done, let sit and cool.
-While that is cooling, dice the apples into small pieces (I would highly recommend soaking in salt water or pineapple juice to keep apples from browning.  If you use the salt water method, make sure to rinse the apples off in cold water).
-If you wish to eat this as a hot oatmeal, go ahead an add the apples, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nuts.  I prefer to eat this like a cereal, so I wait for the quinoa to cool before I add the remaining ingredients.
-I keep this in the fridge and eat it for breakfast every morning with a little almond milk.
