First, bring your water and quinoa to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 12-15 minutes.
Stir a few times during cooking. If mixture seems to be boiling out, crack the lid to release steam, otherwise, keep covered. Cook for 10-15 minutes, until liquid is absorbed. In the last few minutes of cooking, feel free to add a little more liquid (water is fine), until desired consistency is reached. If you prefer breakfast quinoa on the soft side, you can add enough to make it more of a porridge.
Once cooked, toss amount into a bowl and combine all your ingredients.
