When the weather starts to cool off or piles of leaves are on the floor, it just feels wrong to make ice cold smoothies for breakfast–plus they’re definitely not as satisfying. Are you craving cinnamon-y, porridg-y type foods to warm you up from the inside out? How about warm breakfast quinoa for a change? Yes!

With a little over 8g of protein per 1 cooked cup, versus 5.5g for 1 cup of cooked oatmeal–and 1 more gram of fiber than oatmeal–it is definitely a win win. Here is a Fall/Winter-inspired take on breakfast quinoa. With a little added protein, this hearty bowl is sure to power you for an entire morning!
