Quinoa Porridge

I am madly in love with this recipe. It is easy as hell, makes enough for a few meals and is mighty filling and nice and healthy. Recipe was originally found in Eat and Run by Scott Jurek.

1 c dried quinoa (any color will do. tri-color looks very cool in the final product)
2 c water
1 c almond milk or your favorite non-dairy milk (I used one that was a blend of grains)
1 ripe pear or banana (hooray for bananas!)
1/4 c dried flake coconut
1/2 tsp sea salt or light miso (it was the sea salt for me)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (I..will admit to not measuring this. I like cinnamon and was rather liberal with the amount added)

raisins, nuts, apple slices, or chia seeds for garnish (I used the chia)

Cook quinoa- add it to the water, bring to a boil and then simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the water has been absorbed. Fluff and cool for 5 minutes

Place cooked quinoa and all remaining ingredients into a blender and mix until smooth

add garnish(es) and enjoy
