Brown Sugar Breakfast Quinoa
Oatmeal is the go to breakfast for the health conscious individual. It’s good for you in just about every aspect. I like oatmeal. It’s tasty. If there’s anything wrong with oatmeal, it’s that it’s a little lacking in protein. Also, if it’s not prepared properly, it can be really gummy. Thankfully, we can offer you an option that is high in protein and always comes out creamy. Feel free to adapt this tasty recipe by adding some of your favorite flavors!
