An apple a day… mixed with cinnamon and raisins in a breakfast quinoa dish is as tasty as it sounds. With a touch of sweetness, this combination of protein, grains and fruit will get your fall and winter mornings off to a cozy start. Cinnamon-Apple-Raisin Breakfast Quinoa is also a healthy alternative to a typical bowl of oatmeal!

Ingredients
- 2 scoops Herbalife Nutrition Protein Drink Mix, Vanilla
- 2 medium apples (I used Honeycrisp)
- ½ cup quinoa
- ¾ cups water
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- ¼ cup raisins
- 1 ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- dash of salt
Instructions
- Remove core from apples but leave on the skin. Chop finely.
- Mix quinoa, water, milk, raisins, cinnamon, salt and apples in a large saucepan.
- Bring to a boil, cover and reduce to simmer for 20 minutes. The apples will be soft, and the quinoa will have absorbed the liquid.
- Remove from heat and stir in Protein Drink Mix.
- Divide among two bowls. Serve with a little extra milk, if desired.
