Ingredients

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves
  • pinch sea salt
  • 3 cups water
  • 3 Tbsp flaxseed, ground, or chia seeds
  • 1-2 Tbsp molasses
  • 1-2 Tbsp protein powder, optional

Instructions

  • Put the quinoa and spices in a pot, and heat to medium, stirring occasionally to avoid burning the spices. Add the water and sea salt, cover and bring it to a boil.
  • Once it’s boiling, turn down to low, cover and leave the quinoa to simmer. Stir occasionally as it cooks, about 30-35 minutes.
  • Take it off the heat, and stir in the ground flax seeds, molasses and protein if you want to use that. Spoon out a portion into a bowl.
