  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

  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

  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

  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

  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

  Love quinoa. For me, I cook the quinoa w/water, as the coconut will add flavor. I would tend to use butter vs. margarine IF I put it into the cereal. - 11/21/17

  If a serving is a half-cup then this makes 8 servings. i followed the recipe and came out with 4 one-cup servings, which of course, doubles the calories. Tastes good though! - 2/20/16
