P90X Breakfast Recipes — Breakfast Quinoa

Before we dive in to this P90X breakfast recipe for Breakfast Quinoa, let’s talk a little bit about quinoa.

According to Men’s Health magazine, quinoa is one of the top 10 fittest foods. Technically, it’s a seed (not a grain)…but, we eat it just like any other grain. Packed with protein, it’s an excellent substitute for meat or soy products.

Another huge plus is that it’s gluten free—super important for those who are gluten intolerant, have celiac disease, or anyone just trying to add variety to a healthy diet.

There are three types of quinoa—white, red and black—and you can find medley mixes at many stores. Here is the nutritional stats from my bag of Trader Joes Organic White Quinoa:

  • Serving Size: 1/4 cup
  • Calories: 160
  • Calories from Fat: 25
  • Total Fat: 2.5g
    • Saturated Fat: 0g
    • Trans Fat: 0g
  • Cholesterol: 0mg
  • Sodium: 0mg
  • Total Carbohydrates: 30g
    • Dietary Fiber: 3g
    • Sugars: 3g
  • Protein: 6g
  • Iron: 10% PDV

You’ll notice that most recipes call for rinsing the quinoa…this removes it’s natural coating, which can taste bitter, so don’t skip this step!
