Peanut Butter Quinoa
Have just finished typing up an article on the elusive quinoa so thought I'd better give you a breakfast where you can try it!
Of course, I'd also better put peanut butter in that breakfast... it's been far too long ;)
Quinoa can be cooked and stored in the fridge for this, as it's nicer with cold quinoa. Store it in an airtight container and eat it within a day or two.
The other thing you'll find in this recipe that you may not have seen is LSA, that is Linseed, Sunflower seeds and Almonds ground up, a power pack of nutrients to have on hand (stored in the fridge) and easy to sprinkle on anything... except ice cream... not because it'd taste bad but because you're not eating ice cream.. are you?
Peanut Butter Quinoa
½ banana, mashed
½ cup cooked quinoa
1 Tbsp peanut butter (all natural, no skippy rubbish)
1 big tsp of LSA
Cook quinoa according to packet directions. I do mine in my rice cooker for about 10-12 minutes. Don't need to add any salt, why would you?!
Fluff it up with a fork and measure out the half a cup you need and store the rest once cooled.
Mash your half banana and add quinoa, peanut butter and LSA.
Stir it all up making sure the peanut butter is broken up and well spread through.
You can add milk if you like, I don't normally but did for some reason this morning... variety is the spice of life ya know!
Now, please give these a chance... Dave jsut told me as he was editing my photos that there is no way he can make this look appetising (where is the love?!) but I promise you sometimes the ugilest of foods can be the best! Never judge a book by it's cover, or in the case a breakfast by it's photo!
