Quinoa mango breakfast

At some point we all come into a point in life where we have to be more careful about what we eat.  We have to pay for those days of unlimited fat consumption someday.  Now, I am quite determined to eat clean and healthy. It's clean eating time at "Bubut's House!

I will start with my favorite breakfast meal, the quinoa mango breakfast.  I love quinoa for breakfast because it keeps me going all day.  I recently discovered this south american grain and I like it  a lot.  Of course, I eat it not only because it tastes good but also because it is high in fiber, iron and all the essential amino acids.

Quinoa Mango Breakfast
1/2 cup quinoa (any kind)
1 ripe mango, sliced.
Almond/oat/rice milk

Directions

1. Wash quinoa in water.
2. Boil for 15 minutes ( or as directed in package)
3. Cool boiled quinoa.
4. Add sliced mango pieces.
5. Top with milk of choice.
6. Enjoy.

PS
I usually prepare a big pot of quinoa and keep it in the fridge.  It saves time (and electricity!) in the morning.
