Ingredients:
1 cup white quinoa
2 cups water
1/4 cup raisins
1 cup blueberries (frozen)
1 tbsp coconut oil
3 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp shredded coconut
1/2 cup walnuts (or pecans)
2 tbsp cacao nibs
Directions:
• In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa and water and cover. Cook on stovetop on medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low after ten to twelve minutes.
• While the quinoa is cooking, line the bottom of an appropriately sized container (for portability) with raisins and a handful of frozen blueberries.
• When the quinoa is cooked, and has absorbed all the water (about fifteen to twenty minutes), mix in the coconut oil.
• Transfer the cooked quinoa to the container, layering it on top of the raisins and blueberries. Layer the remaining ingredients in the following order: maple syrup, cinnamon, shredded coconut, walnuts and cacao nibs.
• Cover the container with a lid and take it with you as a packed lunch or store it in refrigerator for later.
