Kickstart your day with a large Hearty Quinoa PrOatmeal Bowl. A Quinoa, Oatmeal and Protein Powder cereal for a delicious, filling, protein-packed breakfast.
Cook Quinoa:
Rinse quinoa thoroughly in cold water (required to avoid any bitter taste).
Bring ½ cup water and quinoa to a boil in saucepan, reduce heat to a low simmer and let cook for 15-20 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it rest for 5 minutes. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and move it to a plate. Pop it in the fridge to cool completely.
Cook Oats:
Bring ¾ cup water to boil in a saucepan, stir in the oats and bring to a boil again.
Cover with a lid, reduce heat to a low simmer, and let cook 25 minutes (or longer if needed) until soft and creamy.
Do not walk away from the pot as the oats my boil over. Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.
Assemble:
Transfer quinoa and oats to a bowl, and add protein powder.
Fold gently (avoid making it mushy) while gradually adding the water/almond milk. Add more liquid if needed.
Re-heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
Caramelize Apple:
Heat a skillet on medium and lightly spray(1-2) with cooking spray.
Slice the apple into thin wedges and place on pan. Cook about 4 minutes or until golden brown, gently flip to other side and cook for another minute.
