Fruity Breakfast Quinoa
I tossed this breakfast quinoa together one morning and it was so good I quickly wrote it down! Vary it with whatever fruit you have on hand; I love this combination of crunchy and citrusy.

I've been on a quinoa kick lately. It's so versatile and easy to cook, and it's a great way to get a healthy dose of protein and fiber. I especially love it for breakfast, and this fruity breakfast quinoa is one of my favorite recipes.
This recipe is so simple to make, and it's packed with flavor. The combination of crunchy apples, juicy oranges, and sweet cherries is perfect, and the mint adds a refreshing touch. I love that I can make this recipe with whatever fruit I have on hand, so it's a great way to use up leftovers. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat more fruit.
