1TbspChia Seeds, 14g
4tspMaple Syrup, Stevia-Sweetened, 20ml

Instructions
Place quinoa in a bowl and rinse under running water for at least 1 minute. This is required to remove the bitter taste.
Heat a small saucepan or pot over medium heat. When hot, add quinoa and toast for 3 minutes, stirring frequently, to dry up water.
When quinoa starts to slightly pop, add water and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to a low simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes until quinoa is fluffy and all the water is absorbed.
Transfer quinoa to a bowl, add remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
