Breakfast recipe:
Gourmand smoothie of quinoa and strawberries (or other season fruit).

• 1 cup quinoa (14 ounces, if one dose use 3 ounces)

Procedure:
Wash quinoa and cover it with water in an amount of twice the volume of quinoa, add a pinch of whole marine salt, and cook up to water absorption at around 30 minutes. Keep it in a closed container in the fridge and use it for other desired preparations, sweet or salty.
Pull apart the desired part of quinoa (in the morning you need a full stomach), add the apple juice and a pinch of whole marine salt, and heat the resulting mix.
Add to that preparation the strawberries cut to pieces. Scrape the lemon peel over the preparation, then add the cinnamon.
Liquefy the preparation and, if possible, take it to work in a closed container or thermos.
