Dates are my very good friends during the Daniel Fast, and this is another recipe where their sweetness shines.

Quick & Easy Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
If you need a hot breakfast on a cold morning, but don’t have time to cook, I’ve got just the thing. This easy apple cinnamon oatmeal takes less than three minutes from start to finish, and it will leave you feeling warm and satisfied.
Coconut Mango Quinoa
This hearty breakfast combines protein-packed quinoa with the tropical flavors of coconut and mango. It’s super creamy and delicious.
Be sure to use regular canned coconut milk — not the light stuff. Don’t worry about fat content because coconuts contain a beneficial fat called lauric acid, which is easily absorbed by the body and immediately converted into energy.
Ingredients
- 1 can (12 oz.) coconut milk
- 3/4 cup almond milk
- 1 cup quinoa
- 1 cup mango, chopped
- 3 tablespoons date caramel
Instructions
- Combine coconut milk and almond milk in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Add quinoa and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 12 minutes or until grains have absorbed most of the liquid, stirring occasionally.
- Add mango and date caramel, and cook on on low for another 5 minutes.
Notes
Leftovers can be frozen for a quick breakfast another day. I use a Texas size muffin pan for perfect individual portions. Once frozen, transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove top.
