Quinoa Granola



QUINOA GRANOLA 

3 Cupa Quinoa 
1/2 Cup Olive Oil (sometimes I change this to 1/4 cup olive oil & 1/4 cup coconut oil)
1/4 Cup Maple Syrup 
1/4 Cup Honey
2 Tbsp. Flax Seeds
2 Tbsp. Chia Seeds
Salt

Make Quinoa according to package instructions. Mix ingredients and spread on parchment paper on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with Sea Salt. Roast at 400 degrees for 30 min. 
I stop 1/2 through the cooking time to stir the granola. When granola has cooled I add almond milk and a few toppings. I like dried blueberries, cranberries, and almonds. Or fresh fruit like mangos or peaches. 

I seriously love this granola and could eat it every day, but if you're not used to quinoa it might take a bit to get used to... just a warning. Also pictured is a berry protein "green" smoothie.

Smoothie includes water, coconut water, kale, spinach, bananas, blueberries, raspberries, chia seeds, flax seed, and raw protein powder.
