Hot Pistachio Cereal with Greek Yogurt and Honey
Photo: Ryan Szulc
Super-seed quinoa may have found a place on lunch and dinner plates, but the economical, versatile and protein-rich food is also fantastic for breakfast. Buttery-tasting pistachios, a tiny dash of vanilla extract, sweet honey and tangy low-fat yogurt make this dish almost dessert-like.



Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup quinoa (or 1 1/2 cups cooked quinoa)
  • 2 Tbsp. shelled and chopped, unsalted pistachios
  • 1/4 tsp. pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup low fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp. liquid honey

Directions


Combine the water and quinoa in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover for 17 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the pistachios and vanilla. Divide into two dishes and top each with 1/4 cup yogurt and 1 tsp of honey. Serve.
