    Thanks for all of the great ideas! I'd only made quinoa once and didn't like it. (assumed I cooked it incorrectly :grumble: ) I am really excited to have new ideas. :smile:

    Savoury Breakfast Quinoa

    I use the rice cooker (make a big batch on the weekends for meals during the week). Cook one part quinoa to two parts vegetable stock. Season with fresh herbs (chilli is a must :)), top with a spoonful of tomato salsa and dependent on cal's I may add quarter of an avocado as well.. Go to breakfast after a long training run :) NOM NOM NOM
    (I'm not a vegan so I have a soft poached egg on top and cottage cheese- for any who can eat eggs)

    1/2 a cup of uncooked quinoa has ~313 calories (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/cereal-grains-and-pasta/5705/2).

    *editted OP is vegan doesn't eat cottage cheese duh!

    I eat quinoa just abt every day. I am diabetic and it is one of the few carbs that does not spike my blood sugar. Sorry no recipes though I just buy the roasted garlic or veggy kind

    Try cooking quinoa is unsweetened fruit juice in a slow cooker (1 Cup raw quinoa with 2 cups of juice) .. you can add any spices (nutmeg, cinnamon, all spice, cardamom), nuts (roasted almonds, hazelnuts etc), dried fruit (Dates, apricots, craisins etc), fresh fruit (apples work very well) you like. Cook it overnight and you wake up to the awesomest brekkie ever!

    I cook quinoa like cous cous - 2 parts water to one part quinoa, in a pot with the lid on over a low heat. Cook untill the water is gone.

    I can mix this with yogurt or ricotta and add berries and nuts or LSA mix. Just a bit lighter than the quinoa porrige.

    I love breakfast quinoa! I cook mine in soy milk (vanilla) instead of water. When it's done I add cinnamon or pumpkin spice mix and mixed berries (fresh organic strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries). Yum!
