Warm quinoa breakfast with apple and cinnamon

Having a good breakfast is very important. I often hear people say they can’t get anything down in the morning and I really wonder how they make it through the morning. If I don’t eat within, say, an hour after getting up, I’m not my usual self. Honestly, I really need that energy boost from a proper breakfast in the morning. Nutritious and filling (and tasty, of course) are basically my breakfast criteria, and I think this warm quinoa breakfast with apple and cinnamon meets them perfectly.
