Quinoa Power Porridge

When I need something sustaining and warming for breakfast, I make myself this awesome porridge which provides instant nourishment. The addition of apple and cinnamon makes this porridge taste just like apple strudel. YUM.

Quinoa Power Porridge Recipe

by Teresa Cutter

INGREDIENTS

Serves 2

1 cup (milk) your choice of seed, dairy, soy or almond milk

1 cup water

1/2 cup quinoa

2 apples, chopped or grated with skin

½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon ground linseed (flaxseed) or LSA (linseed, sunflower seed, almonds)

1 - 2 tablespoons Healthy Chef Pure Native WPI - vanilla or natural

METHOD

Rinse quinoa under cold running water.

Combine with the water in a pot and bring to the boil.

Reduce the heat - cover and cook for 10 minutes until soft.

Add milk, apple, cinnamon, seeds and vanilla.

Cook for 5 minutes until creamy - add more milk if needed for a creamier texture.

Spoon into serving bowls and stir through Pure Native WPI. You may need an extra splash of milk to help combine.

Enjoy.

NOTES & INSPIRATION

To cook the quinoa, add one part of the seed to two parts water in a saucepan. After the mixture is brought to a boil, reduce the heat to simmer and cover - just like you would rice. It takes about 15 minutes to cook and you will notice that the seeds have become translucent. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before enjoying.

Store quinoa in an airtight container. Cooked quinoa seeds are fluffy with a delicate nutty flavour.

Shop clean supplements, protein powders and collagen blends.
