Yeah it is...A great gluten free Hot Breakfast cereal!

Quinoa, Flax, and Chia Hot Breakfast Cereal

Serves 2
2 cups coconut water (or plain water)
1/3 cup chia seeds
1/3 cup quinoa flakes
2 Tbsp flax meal
2 Tbsp shredded coconut
Seasonal fruit, chopped almonds, and coconut milk, for serving (optional)

Bring coconut water to a boil in a saucepan. Add chia seeds and cook, covered, over low heat, 3 minutes. Stir in quinoa, flax, and coconut. Cook, stirring, 2 minutes more. Serve topped with fruit, almonds, and coconut milk, if desired.

Prep tip: Make a double batch in advance and combine all the dry ingredients in a container. When you go to prepare the cereal, add ¾ cup mixture to 2 cups boiling coconut or plain water.
