Breakfast Quinoa

I used to have oatmeal occasionally but the oats i have are not gluten-free, and I would rather splurge on some new baking products and chicken this week than certified gluten-free oatmeal. 

 

I feel like quinoa may be healthier, does anyone have any breakfast quinoa recipes to share? I was thinking cinnamon, raisins and walnuts? Thoughts?

I can't eat Quinoa anymore...but did use it when dx'd for breakfast and lunches.

 

I'd make large batch and then put in ziplocks to use for each meal.

 

Breakfast - cinnamon and apples, ginger and peaches, sage with egg or spinach

 

Lunch -- any veggies or cubed meat added in.

I wish I had apples. I need to go shopping. I have been ok with Quinoa so far, I hope it stays that way.

It is a wonderful gluten free grain alternative packed with protein which I hope to get back one day : )

I hope you get it back. I have a great savory recipe for a greek quinoa salad if you ever get it back. Well it's my own recipe which is still in my head and not on paper yet, gotta write it down.

I sometimes make what I call quinoa oatmeal.  I cook it up in a pot with half milk, half water, and whatever fruit like granny smith applies, a dash of cinnamon, etc.  It keeps through the week nicely.  Here are two recipes of that kind of preparation, one is DF:

Yes, usually when I make it, I will use 1C of dry quinoa which makes 3-4 big servings, and it stays in the fridge well.  Quinoa doesn't overcook and change texture easily so the texture keeps, too.

I actually added two dashes of salt, that's how I always made oatmeal before. I always like a touch of salt in all my sweets. Sooooo good, even for lunch.

Is there a type of quinoa that is better than another?  I really need to find an oatmeal substitute.

I find that usually Bobs red mill has the best price per ounce.  They also have a solid gluten-free claim on theirs and some brands lack that.  Those zip top packs can be cheaper but there isn't a lot in there.  Bobs red mill is pre rinsed, and some others are, too, but you definitely always need to rinse your quinoa either way to get rid of the bitter stuff that clings to the outside.  If the method of cooking calls for soaking, toss the soaking water before cooking.

 Yep, it is new!  See this thread: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/108191-chex-gluten-free-oatmeal/

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
