  1. Boil water (2C of water per 1C of quinoa).
  2. Add SIMPLi quinoa & simmer for 12 minutes.
  3. Add in 2 cups of milk of your choice and stir.
  4. Combine it with the sliced pineapple and 1 tablespoon of honey if you want an extra dose of sweetness.
  5. Add 2 cinnamon sticks to finish and let them soak in the quinoa to add more flavor.
  6. Serve in your favorite mug and enjoy!

No more "same old, same old" oatmeal for breakfast—this is a healthy, easy, delicious new way to start your day! Our delicious quinoa drink recipe is typically enjoyed for breakfast by Indigenous Peruvians from the Andes.

This recipe is one that Sarela's mom still makes for Matt and Sarela to drink instead of hot chocolate or milk whenever they want to warm up an extra boost of energy or start their day with a healthy meal. Our sweet and comforting breakfast mixes white quinoa, milk, honey, pineapple, and cinnamon.

This looks delicious and I want to make this but the ingredients and the instructions don’t match up. It seems like its two different recipes. Would you please clarify? Thank you!!
