Notes

Rinse quinoa before you cook: Rinsing quinoa removes quinoa's natural coating, which can make it taste bitter.
Make this recipe ahead: You can make this recipe on the day before to take less time the next morning. Keep it in the fridge, and the following day, reheat in the microwave and add your favorite toppings.
Use your favorite milk: We've used almond milk but feel free to use your favorite one. Soy milk, hazelnut milk, or coconut milk will work great too.
Add your favorite toppings: Feel free to add your favorite toppings like fresh fruit, nut butter, jam, chocolate chips, or more maple syrup.
