Weekly Recipe Maca Mango Quinoa

This is one of my favorite easy meals for breakfast, it’s full of protein and has a twist with the maca that gives you a caffeine free boost in the morning. If you don’t like maca try another natural sugar like lucima or maple syrup adjust to taste.

Ingredients

 1 cup of red quinoa

 1 cup of non dairy milk

 1 cup of water

 1 teaspoon cinnamon

 1 teaspoon of maca

 1 teaspoon turmeric

 3 dried figs (chopped)

 2 tablespoons of pecans (chopped)

Directions

Combine the quinoa, milk, water, cinnamon, maca, turmeric, and dried fruit.  In a large saucepan cook over medium heat.

Cook, stirring until the mixture comes to a simmer.

Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook the quinoa until the liquid has been absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes.

Stir in the remaining ingredients and let the quinoa cereal rest 5 minutes.

Serve warm and enjoy.
