One-Pot Blueberry and Banana Coconut Quinoa Porridge
I was inspired to recreate this recipe after visiting Cool River Coffee in Breckenridge for breakfast after a cool and crisp morning spent nordic skiing. Quinoa is a great alternative to oatmeal for a hot, toasty breakfast. In this recipe, the quinoa is boiled with coconut milk and served with two kinds of fruits and seeds for a sweet, filling start to your morning.
Blueberry and Banana Superboost Muffins
These muffins offer a convenient source of carbs that's perfect for a pre-or post-ride snack to give you an extra boost. They're packed full of fruits and are sweetened with maple syrup and apple juice instead of refined sugar. In addition, almond meal, brown rice flour and whole-grain oats replace nutrient-stripped white flour. These are one of my go-to muffins—nourishing and sweetly satisfying for an easy grab-n-bike snack.
