Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup uncooked quinoa 84g
  • 1 cup water
  • About 10 fresh mint leaves.
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened dark chocolate powder
  • 1 and ½ tablespoon honey 32g

Instructions
 

  • I decided to loosly chop up the mint and cook it with the quinoa to help flavor it.
  • Rinse the quinoa and add it to a small pot with 1 cup of water and the chopped mint leaves.
  • Bring to a boil, cover then lower to a simmer. Cook for about 12-15 minutes until the water is absorbed.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the cocoa powder and honey. Garnish with an extra mint leaf!
