Ingredients
Directions
- Place rinsed and drained quinoa, coconut milk, and agave in a medium-sized pot. Stir ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a low simmer and cover pot, preferably with a clear lid (so you can see through it and keep an eye on the quinoa). Stir a few times during cooking. If mixture seems to be boiling out, crack the lid to release steam, otherwise, keep covered. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed.
- In the last few minutes of cooking, feel free to add a little water until desired consistency is reached.
- Divide quinoa into bowls and top with fresh berries. Enjoy!
