Here's a super quick, healthy and delicious breakfast idea for both weekday morning and lazy weekends. The quinoa just takes 10 minutes to cook, and you add the rest of the ingredients in at the end. I've obviously been trying to be super healthy these last few months before the wedding, and this one is a winner. The quinoa is full of protein -- 24g / cup compared to 6g/ cup in oatmeal. I'd say that's a good way to start the day! —Brussels Sprouts for Breakfast

Add the rest of the ingredients straight to the pot and mix thoroughly. Add some additional fresh berries to the top for serving. Enjoy!
