326 calorie, Pumpkin Pie QUINOA!

FIRST EVER RECIPE POST! YAY!

Pumpkin Pie Quinoa!

This taste JUST like pumpkin Pie filling! I adapted the recipe from an overnight pumpkin pie oatmeal I made once which was AMAZING and since quinoa is so amazingly yummy I decided to give it a shot! ENJOY!!



Ingredients:

2 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/3 cup quinoa
1/2 cup pumpkin puree

A pinch of salt
Cinnamon to taste 
Pumpkin spice to taste
Stevia to taste

Whole natural almonds (optional)

(For those of you just starting to cook, to taste, means to your liking. Add the ingredient to what taste good to you, no real measuring needed. You will typically only see this with spices.)

1. Cook quinoa according to cooking times on the packaging in one cup of the almond milk.


2. Be sure to add a little more almond milk if needed so the quinoa doesn't dry out while cooking. 

3. Once the quinoa is cooked add the pumpkin puree along with the rest of the almond milk, along with salt, cinnamon, pumpkin spice and stevia, all to taste.

4. ( Optional) Chop almonds and sprinkle on top of quinoa.

The entire recipe is JUST 326 CALORIES PEOPLE not including the almonds!!! VICTORY!!! 52g Carbs, 9g fiber, 4g sugar, 12g protein.(15 almonds is around 100 calories if you want to add as a topping and still keep the breakfast well under 500 calories while adding more protein and healthy fats! 52g Carbs, 9g fiber, 4g sugar, 12g protein.)
