     1/2 cup is a pretty small serving of hot cereal - 11/21/14

     Why would anyone use margarine in a "healthy"recipe is beyond me. - 7/2/16

     Tasty, but like most recipes here, they cut calories by cutting serving size, 1/2 cup serving of any hot cereal is not enough for an adult, I think cutting out the milk while cooking wouldn't make much difference in taste when you add the coconut and I will try that. Even oatmeal is a cup serving - 12/8/14

     Tasty and another good breakfast to keep the insides warm. Forgot the almonds but plenty of chewing to do without them! - 10/18/19

     I cooked upon the 1 cup of quinoa and got 8 half of cups of the cereal. The recipe should have stated 1 cup of cooked quinoa. - 10/5/19

     Don't use margarine or butter. Definitely, use no sugar almond butter or no sugar peanut butter. The nuttiness adds to the coconut that you are using. I am new to Quinoa and Brown Rice. I love this recipe for breakfast. I eat 1 cup of it since I'm allowed 300 calories at breakfast - 4/28/19

     1/2 cup is not much for a serving of hot cereal, - 2/15/18

     I made this and enjoyed it! I cut the honey in half because (for me) coconut is sweet enough on its own. I used pecans as my nut of choice and the flavor was very balanced. - 11/27/17

     This sounds really good and is a gluten-free hot cereal option! I have everything in my pantry so will try this on one of these cold winter mornings coming up. Smoothies during the week but this would be a yummy weekend breakfast when I have a little more time. - 11/21/14

     I did not use margarine or butter and I added thawed cranberries and about 8 raisins to the almond mixture and ample cinnamon. This was awesome! - 11/23/20

     thanks for sharing - 11/22/20

     Have to agree I would rather use unsalted butter than margarine or possibly coconut oil? Also agree 1/2 cup is a small serving, maybe need at least 3/4 cup or since it's healthy and full of protein, why not a whole cup? Maybe halve the amount of shredded coconut. - 11/22/20

     wow half cup is not alot and if you add a cup its almost 400 calories - 11/21/20

     No margarine! Almond butter is a better choice. Portion is too small for an adult breakfast, so the calorie count is not believable. - 11/21/20
