  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds, divided
  • 1/2 cup chopped whole almonds, raw, unsalted, divided

Instructions

Cook the Quinoa

  1. Put 1 cup of quinoa and 2 cups of water in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
  2. Once it boils, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and cook the quinoa for 15 to 20 minutes, or until it's cooked through and the liquid has been completely absorbed.
  3. Turn off the heat. Leave it covered for five more minutes.
  4. Transfer the cooked quinoa to a container with a lid and place it in the fridge to cool for a couple of hours. This step will create fluffy quinoa. Feel free to do this step the day before.
