Hot Quinoa Cereal with Warm Berry Compote

Ingredients
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
1/2 cup fresh blueberries
3/4 tsp pure vanilla extract (divided)
1/4 tsp monk fruit extract
1/3 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1 scoop Vanilla All-In-One Protein Shake powder
2/3 cup filtered water
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/3 cup quinoa flake cereal
2 tbsp chopped pecans
Directions
Combine the strawberries, blueberries, 1/4 teaspoon of the vanilla extract, and the monk fruit extract in a small saucepan.

Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is warm and tender, about 4 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine the coconut milk and protein shake powder in a small bowl and stir until the powder has dissolved; set aside.

Combine the water, remaining 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and the cinnamon in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cereal, reduce to medium, and cook, stirring often, until thickened, about 1-1/2 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in the coconut milk mixture and pecans.

Pour hot cereal into bowl, then top with warm berry compote and serve.
