Quick & Easy Avocado Quinoa for One

I have wanted to like quinoa, but never found it very tasty... until now! This meal for one is quick, tasty, and healthy! 

Servings: 1
Prep time: 15 minutes

Ingredients: 
1/4 cup quinoa
1/2 cup vegetable broth
Pepper to taste
1 clove of garlic or 1/2 tsp. minced garlic 
1/2 an avocado
Lime juice, enough to drizzle over avocado

Instructions: 

1. Rinse quinoa with water until water runs clear. Drain well.
2. Heat quinoa, broth, and pepper to taste in a small sauce pan to boiling. Reduce to simmer and allow to cook until liquid has evaporated (about 10 minutes). 
3.  Stir in garlic, then remove quinoa from heat and leave covered a few minutes while preparing avocado. 
4. Cut avocado in half lengthwise (if not done previously) to get 1/2 an avocado. (Tip: leave the pit in the half being saved for later to prevent it from browning.) Remove peel and cut avocado into pieces. Drizzle lightly with lime juice. 
5. Plate the quinoa and add the avocado to it. Mix as desired. Enjoy!  

Note: If you want a different amount of quinoa, this recipe can be easily adjusted. Just use one part quinoa and two parts broth.
