Much to my chagrin it's still cold and I'm still mostly in the mood for warm breakfasts. You? I used to love oatmeal on cold mornings. I enjoyed the sweet start and the warming yumminess. When we went completely gluten-free that meant oats got kicked to the curb too. Yes, there are "gluten-free oats" and some gluten-free'rs opt for keeping oats in their diet, however oat (even gluten-free) proteins are still really hard for many people to digest. If you've gone gluten-free, but still consume oats and are still experiencing uncomfortable symptoms, try eliminating them completely. I really wanted a good oatmeal substitute and for me, quinoa does the trick! I call it quinoatmeal, I love this breakfast. It meets the sweet, warm, yummy and filling criteria required. Try it!
Ummmmm.....I was a little hungry and got excited before remembering to click a pic...here's what was left.
Quinoatmeal
Quinoa flakes (follow box instructions), can buy at Whole Foods, Vitacost, most "health food" stores.
Almond milk
Blueberries
1/2 scoop protein powder (I used a vegan vanilla)
Cinnamon
Top with hazelnuts
I'm feeling a little overly excited for spring and feel a STRONG need to be surrounded by all things colorful. This fun little $10 project makes me grin every time I see it (bought cheap vases at the dollar store and painted them funky colors). This makes me happy.
And so does this, my silly baby girl and all her hair (like mama like baby, her Nana thought it was funny too)....
