This recipe is delish and while it might not be “oatmeal” it tastes a lot like it. Plus it offers you way more protein benefits in the morning which will keep your energy sustained and pumping through until lunch time. Quinoa is an excellent source of protein. Also it is actually a “seed” which falls under the category of slow, sustaining carb. Grains-like oatmeal-act faster in your system and break down into sugar. Thus recipe is a delish and sweet way to start your morning! Enjoy it and make sure you get some breakfast time in. Coffee, bagels, and fruit are quick and easy grabs but won’t give you the energy you need to rock out all the important stuff you have to do before noon.
