Breakfast Quinoa
This healthy recipe is very quick and easy.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups almond milk (or skim), 1 cup quinoa, 3 T brown sugar, 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon, 1 cup fresh blueberries. (Feel free to add more cinnamon, sugar, or blueberries to meet your personal delight)
Directions
1. Bring milk to a boil in a small saucepan. Add quinoa, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until three-quarters of the milk has been absorbed, about 15 minutes
2. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Cook, covered, until almost all the milk has been absorbed, about 8 minutes. Stir in blueberries, and cook for 30 seconds. Serve with additional milk, sugar, cinnamon, and blueberries
Food sustains us… Yet what we eat may affect our risk for several of the leading causes of death for Americans, notably, coronary heart disease, stroke, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and some types of cancer. These disorders together now account for more than two-thirds of all deaths in the United States.

BEST PANCAKES EVER
The most delectable pancakes that I’ve ever had. In my opinion, these are more flavorful and delicious than regular pancakes!! Plus they’re 23423794832703x healthier (win).
oh and ps. they’re vegan
Recipe:
(makes about 5 small pancakes)
Ingredients
1 banana
1 teaspoon baking powder
1.5 Tablespoons agave or sugar (use honey for non-vegan)
1 Tablespoon flaxseed
2.5 Tablespoons water
pinch of salt
1 Tbsp. canola oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 Tablespoons milk (I used almond)
1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 cup whole wheat flour (or sub other flour)
Method | Make flax egg by combining water and flaxseed in a small dish, stirring and letting set for 5 minutes. Mash the banana and baking soda together, then add salt and agave nectar or honey. Add the oil, egg, vanilla, milk and stir. Then add the oats and flour and stir until just combined. Add another splash of milk if the batter appears too thick.
Scoop batter onto a greased skillet over medium heat (not too high or they’ll burn) and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. They will appear a little soft in the middle but that’s kind of what you’re going for as they’ll be a bit more dense and chewy than a traditional pancake. Serve warm with desired toppings.
