This hot breakfast cereal is a good source of minerals and B vitamins, as well as protein. Put it on first thing when you get up in the morning and by the time you're showered and dressed, it will be ready.

1/3 cup quinoa
1/3 cup millet
1/3 cup amaranth
5 cups water
Pinch sea salt
1/4 cup flax or sesame seeds, ground
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon or cardamom (optional)


<p>Rinse quinoa. Place grains, water, and sea salt in heavy-bottomed pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent cereal from sticking to bottom of pan. Stir in ground seeds and spices.<br /><br /> Makes 4 servings.</p>
