Quinoa Cereal with Almond Milk and Blueberries

I usually make quinoa cereal in water with apples and cinnamon, but I wanted something more filling since I'm on this detox program.  I modified the recipe to make it more simple, heavier, vegan, and no added sugar.  I used blueberries because I went picking last weekend, and there's nothing yummier than fresh picked fruit!  You can substitute whichever fruit you want though.  I love the combination below because the quinoa is crunchy, the almonds are nutty, and the blueberries explode in your mouth!  This recipe will stay a few days in the fridge.

Ingredients

1 cup quinoa

2 cups almond milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/8 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup almonds (sliced, slivered, chopped, whatever you prefer)

1 cup blueberries

Directions

1.  Bring the quinoa, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon to a boil.  Turn the heat down to a simmer, cover, and cook for ~12 mins (or the amount of time specified on the quinoa you buy).

2.  Remove from heat.  Mix-in the almonds and blueberries.  Serve hot or cold.
