Recipes Breakfast and Brunch Cereals Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Quinoa 4.5 (128) 104 Reviews 27 Photos Sweet blueberries and tart lemon pair well in this blueberry lemon breakfast quinoa, an alternative to oatmeal. High in protein and fiber, quinoa is a great start to your day! I made this up one morning when I had a craving for quinoa and was looking for a change from the usual. Top with extra milk for a thinner consistency. It's also good with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
