Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Divide quinoa mixture between 2 bowls; top each with 1 teaspoon flax seed to serve.
Step 2
Rinse quinoa with cold water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove bitterness until water runs clear and is no longer frothy.
Step 3
Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir quinoa and salt into milk; simmer over medium-low heat until most liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove saucepan from heat. Stir maple syrup and lemon zest into quinoa mixture. Gently fold in blueberries.
