Dessert? Snack? Breakfast? Have this whenever you want since it is full of good for you ingredients that will not only satisfy you but keep you full too!

Quinoa is a little protein packed seed that cooks quickly in 15 minutes in boiling water. No draining is necessary and you can basically add it to ANYTHING and you’ve got a fantastic meal.

Add some Greek yogurt, peanut butter and cocoa powder and a few other ingredients and you will be loving this recipe.

If you’d rather reduce the calories, fat or points a bit more you could remove the peanut butter without it ruining the flavor. I’m loving it as a special breakfast lately that keeps me full for hours.

January is the perfect time to increase your vitamin C with some delicious citrus fruits! This recipe uses clementines but you can certainly substitute any other citrus you prefer.

Serve for breakfast, snack, or a healthy dessert; whatever you want it to be, it will be nothing short of amazing!

Layers of sweet cinnamon quinoa and yogurt topped with some walnuts make this more like a dessert than a breakfast! If you are allergic to dairy, change the yogurt to coconut milk yogurt. You can also open a can of coconut milk, no shaking it, overnight in the fridge with the lid off, by morning it’s all cream on top, YUM!

One glass serving you see there is PACKED with 24 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber!!! Pretty great huh?!
