1/2 cup rinsed quinoa
1 3/4 cup almond or cashew mylk, divided
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1 teaspoon of maca powder
1 tablespoon of plant protein powder (I used Epic Plant-based Protein Powder)
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 teaspoon hemp seeds
1 teaspoon bee pollen
METHOD
In a blender, combine 3/4 cup mylk, water, vanilla, salt, cacao, maca and protein powder. Blend for 10 -15 seconds until combined. In a saucepan, bring quinoa, and blended liquid to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until liquid is absorbed, 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let rest five minutes, then fluff with a fork.
For each serving, top 1/2 cup quinoa with 1/2 cup mylk, 1 tsp hemp seeds, 1 tsp of bee pollen, and sweetener (ie honey or agave) if desired.
Refrigerate cooked quinoa in an airtight container up to 4 days
