Yes, I eat quinoa for breakfast & I’m hella proud of it! It’s such a fun way to change things up from our traditional oatmeal breakfasts & a great source of protein, complex carbs & minerals like zinc & magnesium.
I obviously spiced it up with pumpkin spice, raw cacao & maca because let’s be honest, I don’t ever really do plain & topped it off with hemp & chia seeds, clementine & a splash of yacon syrup!
I’m so happy that I re-tried incorporating maca into my life! It turns out the raw maca I’d been using before was just too much for my body to digest & now that I’ve switched over to gelatinized maca, I’m having no issues whatsoever & I feel amazing!!
