Breakfast in Bed

I was never much of a breakfast eater growing up, and even into my twenties. I always tried to "save" my calories for later in the day. However, it constantly  backfired on me, and I would be starving all day long and pig out. I started to consistently eat breakfast, and are able (most days) make better choices. Fast forward to motherhood. I know have three people to get out of the house this morning, look decent for work and take care of pets. I love make ahead meals, and breakfast is no exception. This is the easiest and so super filling, and keeps you full till lunch time.

You need:
1 c cooked quinoa 
Fruit, sliced (I used apples & pears)
Cinnamon 
Honey or stevia
Flax or chia seeds
Nuts (I used almonds)
1 c milk (I used almond milk)


Preheat oven to 350. Mix quinoa, flax & milk together in a baking dish. Stir in sweetener.




Add fruit and nuts. Top with cinnamon. Bake for 30-45 minutes.

To serve: slice and microwave 30 seconds.

Keeps for about a week in the fridge.
