Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Rinse quinoa with cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until water runs clear and is no longer frothy to remove bitterness.
Step 2
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. Off heat, stir in maple syrup and lemon zest; gently fold in blueberries.
Step 3
Divide quinoa mixture between 2 bowls; top each with 1 teaspoon flax seed.

Ingredients

  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups nonfat milk
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 teaspoons flax seed
  • 0.5 lemon, zested
