| Confetti Breakfast Quinoa with Coconut Peanut Butter and Honey |
For vegetarians and meat eaters alike, quinoa makes a great alternative to rice, oatmeal or any grain and is super quick cooking; rice will typically take 45 to 50 minutes, but the mighty quinoa only cooks for fifteen minutes and rests for five.
Most people think of it as a savory food, but I’m here to tell you that it’s perfect for breakfast! Try it with some natural peanut butter or this Earth Balance Coconut Peanut Butter Spread – filling and satisfying for breakfast and the flavor of coconut and peanut butter together is unexpectedly delectable.

I really need to get on the quinoa-for-breakfast bandwagon! I love all of the flavors you've paired it with!
glad to know that someone else makes coconut peanut butter, I had ordered from Tropical Tradititions but they've been out of stock for a while.
