At my nutrition and wellness event
that I hosted last week at Athleta,
I taught the guests how to make
this Creamy Pumpkin Spice Quinoa.
Made with seasonal Fall ingredients.
Delicious for warm breakfast, nutritious for
before or after the gym, and also great to eat
for a yummy warming snack or dessert!
A great alternative to traditional (and boring) oatmeal,
SO easy to make and higher in protein than oatmeal.
Make a big batch of plain quinoa one night and then the next morning,
add some of the ingredients to a pot, heat up and voila!
