Red (or black) quinoa has a firmer texture than its beige counterpart, making it a better choice for this cereal. With tropical flair that provides a healthy balance of carbohydrate, protein and fat, this recipe will get your day started right. You can also try it topped with diced mango. Extra cooked quinoa can be stored in the fridge for up to five days.
