Quinoa Grapefruit Blueberry Breakfast

During the cold and dark Canadian winter months, it’s important to stay warm and well-nourished. Using in-season ingredients and produce is a simple way to brighten your winter blues and introduce authentic vitamin-rich flavour to your meals.

“Florida grapefruit reaches its best taste during the heart of winter, making it a great source of fresh, nutrient-rich fruit at a time when many others are not available,” says Emily Richards, Home Economist. “I like to add Florida grapefruit and its juice to salads, savoury dishes and snacks.”

Follow the recipe below from Emily to add Florida sunshine and a boost of energy to your blustery mornings. This refreshing breakfast combines hot quinoa with Florida grapefruit and blueberries for a new twist on breakfast.
