Coconut Mango Quinoa

Leave a comment

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
