Quinoa Porridge
This cereal is high in ‘easy to digest’ protein and packed with EFAs and anti-oxidants. What better way to start your day!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup quinoa grain
- pinch sea salt
- 1 tbsp brain food mix*
- 8 or 9 raw almonds chopped (or any raw nuts you have on hand)
- handful of blueberries
- splash of almond milk (unsweetened or if you like it sweeter use rice milk instead)
*Brain Food Mix (in coffee blender mix 3 parts flax seed, 1 part seasame seeds, 1 part sunflower seeds, 1 part pumpkin seeds and store in dark container in fridge) You can add this to anything, like muffins, cereals, smoothies and salads. I even hide this in my kids pizza’s!
Directions:
Boil the water and then add the quinoa. Season with salt. Bring water back to a boil and simmer on low heat for approximately 7 minutes. Switch off, cover, and let sit for 15 minutes. Add almond milk to the consistency you like. Add brain food mix, almonds and blueberries.
Serves 1
Health Benefits:
Qunioa is easy to break down in the body and is a healthier protein than meat. It looks like a grain (is a fruit) and is a complete protein on its own. The Brain Food Mix is a sure way to get your Essential Fatty Acids for the day. EFAs are important for good health.
