I took up eating quinoa when I found out how much protein it has. This is really an easy dish to experiment with; my first version of the recipe was made with shredded apples instead of blueberries. It's just as delicious! —Shannon Copley, Upper Arlington, Ohio

Ingredients

1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed and well drained
2 cups unsweetened almond milk
2 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries, thawed

2 tablespoons chopped almonds, toasted

Directions

1. In a small saucepan, cook and stir quinoa over medium heat until lightly toasted, 5-7 minutes. Stir in almond milk, honey, cinnamon and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until quinoa is tender and liquid is almost absorbed, 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Remove from heat; stir in blueberries and vanilla. Sprinkle with almonds.
