Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Quinoa

Ingredients

• 1 cup quinoa
• 2 cups nonfat milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 tablespoons maple syrup
• 0.5 lemon, zested
• 1 cup blueberries
• 2 teaspoons flax seed

Steps

1. Rinse quinoa with cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until water runs clear and is no longer frothy to remove bitterness.
2. Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir quinoa and salt into milk; simmer over medium-low heat until most liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Off heat, stir in maple syrup and lemon zest; gently fold in blueberries.
3. Divide quinoa mixture between 2 bowls; top each with 1 teaspoon flax seed.
