Quinoa Porridge

Quinoa is actually  pronounced "keen-wah," not "kwin-oh-ah." Which I find weird  but at the end of the day people will probably know what you're talking about regardless of correct pronunciation. 

Quinoa is one of the most versatile foods to work with. It can be adapted to be in so many different recipes - breakfast, lunch and tea.

Today I will be sharing with you a simple quinoa porridge that I eat most mornings. I have a very temperamental  stomach and really struggle to find food that it can tolerate. This quinoa porridge has always been a winner for me and can be adapted in so many different ways. It is gluten free and super high in protein, plus super easy to make.

QUINOA PORRIDGE WITH RICE MILK & BLUEBERRIES 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup quinoa oats 

3/4 cup boiling water 

1/3 unsweetened rice milk 

1/4 cup frozen blueberries 

Method:

1. Place quinoa oats and boiling water in a bowl, stir and microwave for 1 minute.

2. Remove from microwave, stir and add rice milk.

3. Add blueberries and enjoy while hot! 

Pretty simple hey! I used rice milk as I can't find any unsweetened almond milk that is actually unsweetened (so many hidden sugars around!) and soy upsets my stomach. I understand that different people are used to different levels of sweetness and flavour, I find the berries sweet enough. This recipe is really delicious just as it is, but can be modified for all different palletes.

Below are some extras you could play around with:

-rice malt syrup 

-Apple 

-cinnamon 

-nutmeg 

-cacao powder 

-maca powder 

-coconut flakes 

The list could go on forever ! 

Play around and find which flavours you like!
