Quinoa Power Porridge Recipe
Servings: 1
Time to create: 10 minutes
Ingredients
20g cooked quinoa
20g oats
1 Tbsp hulled hemp seeds
100ml oat milk
1 Tbsp peanut/almond
butter
1 Tbsp chia seeds
10g flaked almonds
75g frozen berries
1 tsp honey
Juice of 1/4 of a lemon
Pinch of ground cinnamon
Method
Place the frozen fruit, lemon juice, cinnamon and honey in a small saucepan over a medium heat and cook for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally until piping hot, the fruit has started to break down and the liquid is syrupy (approximately 8 minutes).
Meanwhile, prepare the porridge by placing the quinoa, oats, hemp seeds and chia seeds in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Stir regularly until the oat milk has been absorbed and has reached your desired consistency.
Pour into a bowl, top with the berry compote and flaked almonds and drizzle with peanut butter.
TOP TIPS: Cook a big batch of quinoa at the weekend to save you time - great for lunches too! If you’re at the office, the porridge can be cooked in the microwave. Cook for a minute at a time (on high), stirring each time until desired consistency is reached. You can either make the compote the night before (and pop in a Tupperware) or top with fresh berries instead.
