I thought this was really good. I also thought it was a lot for 1 serving. I would prob do two out of it next time. Plus that’s an extra breakfast prepped.
User beware!!! I used this recipe for Level 1 (since that is what the website says in may places) only to be later told by betr that “isn’t included in Level 1 foods because Level 1 focuses on single-ingredient, whole foods that are generally lower in starch.” It can be a “transitional” food for vegetarians or vegans even though it is not under that category here on the website.
I love quinoa and threw everything, including apples, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and blueberries, into the rice cooker at the same time, making sure I’d drizzled the coconut oil on the bottom first to prevent sticking. I also added a few scoops of Primal Kitchen’s chocolate-coconut collagen powder (Level 1 approved according to the AI bot—no sugar, organic, non-GMO), and it is delicious. Next time, I’ll let the quinoa soak for 20 minutes first so it’s a bit softer, and I’ll throw in a few walnuts or almonds for a slight crunch. Delicious, filling, very satisfying mix of textures and tastes.

What can I use here as a substitute for the coconut oil? I have a food sensitivity and would get sick.
