Leftovers for breakfast?

Today was a day for multi-tasking for sure. At one point I was on a call with a client while replying to lavaman triathlon emails and trying to mop up my mess on the floor with my foot. WOWZA!

Anyway, moving on to dinner. I decided to break out the quinoa. I cooked enough for dinner to save for breakfast. Quinoa for Breakfast? Yes, love it! I make a yummy quinoa protein porridge. Basically its cooked quinoa with melted almond or tahini butter. Then you add unsweetened vanilla almond milk, 1 serving vanilla protein powder, dried cherries, pecan halves, cinnamon, and stevia (optional). Mix all together and let it sit in the fridge overnight. Instead of overnight protein oats, in overnight protein porridge. Gluten free, a higher protein grain, super-food, etc.!!

In the morning I'll top this with some cottage cheese and honey for a hearty breakfast. Can't wait! Anyone have any breakfast creations out there? Do share......

Cheers,
