Ingredients

1/4 quart
quinoa
-
1/2 cup
water
-
1 cup
unsweetened vanilla almond milk
-
1
banana
-
1 tablespoon
almond butter
-
cinnamon
Directions
-
The night before: In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil and add quinoa. Cover, reduce heat to simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, but keep pot covered and allow to "cook" for an additional 10 minutes. Transfer to container with lid and place in refrigerator.

In the morning: In a small saucepan over medium high heat, add almond milk. Once it begins to sizzle(like it's about to boil), add prepared quinoa and reduce heat to low. Stir occasionally until the almond milk is absorbed and becomes similar to the consistency of oatmeal(about 15 minutes). Remove from heat and transfer to bowl. Top with sliced banana and almond butter. Enjoy!
