Overnight Almond-Chia Quinoa

• 1/4 cup quinoa uncooked
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 3/4 cup low-fat milk choice
• 1/4 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 2 teaspoons honey

1. To make the quinoa, heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Place the dry quinoa in the pan and let the quinoa toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat, and carefully rinse the quinoa using a fine-mesh strainer. Return to the stove and add the water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook the quinoa for about 15-20 minutes or until it becomes tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. To speed up the cooling process, you can rinse the cooked quinoa under cold water for 10-15 seconds and drain well.
2. Place the cooked quinoa in a bowl, and add remaining ingredients. Stir to combine, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid, and refrigerate overnight. When ready to serve, remove from the refrigerator and enjoy the quinoa cold or heat in the microwave if desired.
