Just wanted to share this awesome breakfast idea with you! Maybe you are SO ready to venture out of your comfort zone and try something different. Maybe you're bored with your Cheerios! Are you in need of a breakfast that keeps you full till lunch?
I've written about the benefits of the superfood quinoa earlier this fall ... bottom line for those not interested in nutritional facts: it tastes good, is great for you, and can work as a versatile grain with just about any additions thrown in!
If you're a busy mom, you really do not have time to make this in the morning before the school rush begins. Maybe you will try it this weekend. Maybe you are reading this now after everyone has gone to bed and you want to prep it for tomorrow ... maybe you're just about passed out on the couch after a very long day and the kids uniforms aren't finished washing yet! Whatever your reasons, if you are ready to start the day off with a meal that sets the tone for a productive day, you really should try this grain out! I cannot stress enough how many people skip breakfast ... myself included some days! When you start the day off in a deficit it just snowballs from there! You know what I'm talking about right?!
