Introduction
A healthy (and very hearty) alternative to oatmeal.The coconut Milk actually increases the calories by a lot, as well as the fat, but they are healthy (natural) fats, which our body needs. But if your calorie counter can't afford it, use low fat milk instead. A healthy (and very hearty) alternative to oatmeal.

Ingredients
-
1/4 c. (60 ml) Coconut Milk
1/4 c. (60 ml) Water
1/4 c. (60 ml) Dry/Raw Quinoa, rinsed
1 apple
cinnamon
1 tsp of chopped pecans or walnuts
Directions
Peel the apple (keep the skins for snacking) & chop into small pieces.
Combine the apple, water, coconut milk & quinoa in a small saucepan.
Bring to a boil on high then reduce to Medium-Low & simmer (covered) for 15 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand another 5 minutes. Stir in Cinnamon, serve & top with 1-2 tsp of chopped pecans or walnuts.
If you need to add some sweetness, try adding 1 tsp or tbsp of Maple Syrup (depending on your sweet tooth).
1 tsp adds about 15 calories and 1 tbsp is about 55 cal.
I've also used Bananas instead of Apples, it's quite yummy. You can substitute any of your favorite fruits. You can also add them without cooking them (add at the same time as the cinnamon), but apples are usually better when cooked for this.
This makes 1 serving (about 1&1/4 cup)
