Sweet Quinoa Porridge
A nice warm way to start the day! This dish is a high protein, gluten free alternative to oats.
Ingredients
- Porridge:
- 1/4 Cup Quinoa Flakes
- 1 Cup Milk (Rice, Almond or Soy - whatever tickles your fancy)
- 1/4-1/2 tsp Raw Sugar or Coconut Palm Sugar*
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Pink Salt
Toppings:
- (feel free to make up your own combination)
- 4 Almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp Sultanas
- 1/4 Apple, diced or grated
- 1 Strawberry, sliced
- A pinch or two of Dessicated Coconut
- A pinch or two of Cinnamon
Directions
- Add all porridge ingredients to a small saucepan on low heat.
- Once it starts to bubble, stir constantly for about 90 seconds, until your quinoa is cooked. Don't worry if it seems a little watery, it'll thicken rather quickly both in the pot and in your bowl.
- Pour into a bowl, add toppings and eat immediately! I love this just the way it is, but if you have a sweet tooth, feel free to add a drizzle of agave or maple syrup.
TIP
- If you're tight on time, you can microwave the porridge ingredients for 2:00-2:30 on high, then add toppings.
