Quinoa Berry Porridge
Ingredients:
- ½ cup dry quinoa (rinsed throughly)
- 1 ¼ cup water (or almond milk-optional)
- 1 Tsp vanilla extract
- ½ Tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 handful frozen or fresh berries
- Optional: a touch of THM stevia to taste (Canadians get it here)
Directions:
- Rinse Quinoa and soak if possible (you can do this overnight to help break down the grain to make it easier to digest)
- Bring water or milk to a boil in a small saucepan.
- Add quinoa, and return to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, covered, until three-quarters of the water or almond milk has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in stevia and cinnamon. Cook, covered, until almost all the milk has been absorbed, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in blueberries or raspberries, and cook for 30 seconds if frozen
- Serve with additional almond milk, stevia, cinnamon, and your favorite berries!
