Quinoa Berry Porridge

• 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:

1. Rinse Quinoa and soak if possible (you can do this overnight to help break down the grain to make it easier to digest)
2. Bring water or milk to a boil in a small saucepan.
3. 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.
4. Stir in stevia and cinnamon. Cook, covered, until almost all the milk has been absorbed, about 8 minutes.
5. Stir in blueberries or raspberries, and cook for 30 seconds if frozen
6. Serve with additional almond milk, stevia, cinnamon, and your favorite berries!

NOTE: This would be an ‘E’ Meal on the Trim Healthy Mama Plan.

Enjoy!
