Warming Quinoa ‘Porridge’
This 'porridge' is an incredibly delicious breakfast option for winter. Comfort food for the soul (plus its high in fibre and protein ticking all the boxes).
Ingredients
- 2 cup quinoa rinsed, uncooked
- 2 cup milk (of choice – coconut milk is delicious here!)
- 2 cup water
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 scoop SSH Vanilla Protein Powder
- 4 tbsp almond meal optional, but oh so delicious!
- 4 tbsp cashews chopped (to serve)
- 4 tbsp natural yoghurt to serve
- Fruit to serve fresh/ frozen or poached
Instructions
- Place water and half of milk and cinnamon in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer for flavours to infuse.
- Add rinsed quinoa. Simmer for 12-15 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
- Add remaining coconut milk.
- Cook stirring, until almost all absorbed. Note: use more liquid if quinoa does not completely cook through.
- Add rice malt syrup, protein powder and almond meal. Stir through.
- Serve with natural yoghurt, nuts and fruit (we used poached pears!).
Notes
You can use berries, poached apples, pears – all beautifully high fibre, delicious fruit.Â
