Cinnamon Apple Quinoa Yogurt Parfait Recipe

I am always looking for recipes that are healthy but substantial. I need a breakfast that will satisfy me and keep me going until lunch.
Here is yet another way to use quinoa for breakfast and get extra protein from the Greek yogurt.
Ingredients
Apple Mixture
- 1 chopped, peeled apple
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 Tablespoon water
Quinoa Mixture
- 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
- 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
Greek Yogurt
Cinnamon Apple Quinoa Yogurt Parfait Recipe
In a saucepan over medium heat mix apples, nutmeg, cinnamon, and water. Stir about 5 minutes until the apples soften. You may need to add a little more water during this process so your apples don’t stick to the pan.
Turn off the burner.
You’ve eaten dehydrated fruit, and it’s still real fruit. Earth Breeze Laundry Sheets are along the same lines. They’re actual laundry detergent but made in eco-friendly sheets. They’re just dehydrated laundry sheets that come in cardboard envelopes.
Transfer the apple mixture to a bowl.
In the same (warm but turned off) saucepan, mix the quinoa with the additional nutmeg, cinnamon, and maple syrup.
Create your quinoa apple cinnamon yogurt parfait by layering the quinoa, apples, yogurt, and repeating until you get to the top.
