Food: Cinnamon Strawberry Coconut Quinoa

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hello again! It is Lori and Michelle again from <a href="http://www.pure2raw.com/" target="_blank"><b>pure2raw</b></a>. We have a super easy breakfast idea for you today! It is made from one of our favorite ingredients to use - quinoa. Do you remember our <a href="http://madebygirl.blogspot.com/2011/12/food-quinoa-bake-pie.html"><b>quinoa bake that we shared awhile back</b></a>?  </span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Quinoa is one of our go to ingredients to use to make some really fun and super easy meals. We love quinoa for so many reasons like, it is naturally gluten-free and full of protein. </span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">  </span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">But we also love it mainly because it is so easy to create sweet and savory dishes with. If you have not tried quinoa yet, you must go out and get yourself some. Promise you will love it.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.pure2raw.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/quinoa-bowl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><img alt="" border="0" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22480" height="650" src="http://www.pure2raw.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/quinoa-bowl.jpg" title="quinoa-bowl" width="436" /></span></a></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">  <img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22476" height="429" src="http://www.pure2raw.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/group-shot-strawberry-quiona.jpg" title="group-shot-strawberry-quiona" width="490" /> </span></div></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"> Quinoa cooks up in just 15-20 minutes, making it doable for people with busy schedules and who still want a hearty healthy meal. Since strawberries are coming into season now we thought about jazzing up a breakfast idea with a mix of quinoa and strawberries. </span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">We made this recipe feed just 1-2 people, so we cooked the quinoa a little differently then you normally would. Instead of doing the original ratio of 2 cups water to 1 cup quinoa, we just halved that. We did 1 cup water to 1/2 cup quinoa and let cook for about 13-15 minutes. You could double this recipe to feed more or make enough for leftovers! </span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Another great thing about this quinoa breakfast is that you really can add in any flavorings or toppings of your liking. If you do not have strawberries, any berry or fruit would work. Even throwing in some chocolate chips for a little sweet chocolaty breakfast would be tasty. The sky is the limit! Have a little fun in the kitchen.</span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></div><div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">  <img alt="" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-22478" height="650" src="http://www.pure2raw.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/cinnamon-coconut-quinoa.jpg" title="cinnamon-coconut-quinoa" width="435" /> </span></div></div><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;"><b>Recipe: Strawberry quinoa coconut breakfast bowl </b> serves- 1-2 <b>Ingredients:</b></span><br /><ul><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">1/2 cup quinoa</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">1 cup water</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">about 1/3 cup coconut milk (or almond milk)</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">1 cup frozen or fresh strawberries</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">3 tablespoons coconut flakes *optional topping</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">1 teaspoon vanilla</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">1/2 teaspoon cinnamon</span></li><li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">1/4 teaspoon cardamom </span></li></ul><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Directions: In a pot over high heat place your 1 cup water and bring to a boil.
