Happy Sunday all! I hope everyone had a great weekend & is as ready for this upcoming week as I am. This week's recipe is one that was inspired from a fitness magazine article. I actually made it a few weeks back and it turned out OK…I wasn't thrilled with the results but if made with a couple of alterations, it would be a lot better. Initially, I cooked the quinoa with milk but next time, I will use water because the milk gave it a funny after taste. I would also recommend using sweetened coconut flakes & toasted almond slivers so that it gives it more of a nutty taste and a nice little crunch.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup raw quinoa
1 - 1 & 1/4 cup water
Dash of sea salt
2 tsp cocoa powder
2 tsp honey
2 TBSP sweetened coconut flakes
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Sliced almonds
A couple of drops of peppermint extract
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil and add quinoa & sea salt.
2. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook quinoa until all of the liquid has been absorbed.
3. Remove quinoa from stove place in a bowl.
4. Add vanilla & peppermint extracts, cocoa powder, honey, coconut flakes, & almonds and mix.
5. Enjoy!
