Quinoa, Blueberries, Strawberries and Bananas

Quinoa is very trendy right now.  It is also extremely versatile.  It can be paired with foods that will compliment it as a breakfast, lunch or dinner side dish.  Although I eat quinoa as a lunch or dinner side dish, I sometimes prefer to eat it in the morning. In lieu of using water, I heat rice milk with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla. After the cooking process, I typically select fruits to add to my Quinoa.  Blueberries, Strawberries and Bananas are three of my favorites. Sometimes I add all of these fruits at the same time or I alternate between eating them over the course of the week.
 
Quinoa can be eaten hot or cold. You can opt to eat it with brown sugar, honey, white sugar, agave or nothing at all.  For those of us with Celiac Disease, gluten, wheat allergies or intolerances, Quinoa is high in fiber.  This makes Quinoa an excellent substitute for grains that contain gluten along with fiber. 
 
Give Quinoa a try and share your thoughts.
