breakfast quinoa with bananas

I know this blog is beginning to provide a LOT of recipes, but trying new things out, new recipes and clean eating, I think I should just share some of them.

I haven't tried quinoa in a few years. My mom stopped making it after she realized she was allergic to it. Anyway, I thought, how about I try to make it? Maybe I'll really like it. 

First of all, I had no idea that it makes so much food!!! I mean, the first time I made it, it would probably last me a week. ;)

Anyway, back to the recipe. This is good to make on those days when you are craving cereal or oatmeal. Though it is high in carbohydrates, don't let that scare you! Just try to take it easy on them for the rest of the day. Eat healthy fruits, and very little high carb foods. Now, let's get on to the recipe. :)

You can eye up how much cinnamon or vanilla you want. It is just used to make the recipe taste better. Also, you can add more milk or quinoa if you wish, this is just how much I made for myself.
