There’s something comforting about spooning into a warming bowl of oatmeal first thing in the morning. But sometimes you just can’t stomach those lumpy oats and need a change of pace. Enter the slightly sweet, protein-packed red quinoa! The superfood is cooked with apple and tossed with honey and coconut chips for a delicious, satisfying breakfast that tastes more like a dessert (hint: apple pie!).
