Gluten-Free Berry Nutty Q’ia Cereal
Chia seeds have gotten a lot of attention for their impressive combination of omega-3s, protein, and fiber, but have you heard of q’ia (pronounced kee-ah)? It’s a tasty cereal that blends chia seeds with two other wholesome ingredients: buckwheat and hemp. Both additions boast some of the same benefits as chia seeds–cholesterol-lowering fiber and heart-healthy omega-3s–and the trio creates a perfect base for an energizing, satisfying, gluten-free morning meal.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Nature’s Path Qi’a Cereal; original flavor (see Recipe Note)
- 5 tablespoons unsweetened alternative milk (preferably almond, coconut, or hemp seed milk)
- 1/2 cup lightly toasted pecans, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup raspberries or blueberries
- 1/4 cup or more alternative milk
