Quinoa, do you like it sweet or savory?



Do you like your quinoa savory or sweet??? I like both but Loving it for breakfast these days!
Did you know quinoa has al 9 amino acids making it a complete protein? Did you know it's not a grain but a seed? It's related to the beet, spinach and Swiss chard family!
Blah blah blah. Whatever, it tastes good and it's good for you! That's all I care about!
Today I cooked it with lite coconut milk, and stirred in a tsp of honey and natural almond butter. Topped it with cinnamon and chopped apples! It's kind of like oatmeal in that it's a vehicle for deliciousness.

Seems like it shouldn't count as a yellow on the 21 day fix! Should be a GREEN or an orange? If you are vegan, it does count as a red actually, because they have more limited protein sources. Oh well, it's delicious, so it's worth using up one of my precious yellows! 
This was a tsp, a yellow, and 1/2 purple! Oh and a blue for the coconut milk, but would have been just as yummy with almond milk!
