Weight Loss Approved Quinoa Breakfast Porridge
Looking for a warm breakfast that doesn’t contain too much calories, but tastes good? Try this amazingly good quinoa porridge for your next breakfast!
This breakfast is protein and nutrient loaded and it’s gluten-free. There is one trick to make the quinoa softer: just soak it in water at least one hour before cooking (preferably overnight). This will not only help with the softness, but it will remove the bitterness of the quinoa.
Another tip is to cook it with almond milk (or any other plant-based milk) instead of water to make it creamier and more porridge-like.
Quinoa Breakfast Porridge
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa (soaked in water for at least 1 hour)
- 2 cups water
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup almond milk (or less, according to your texture preferences)
Instructions
- Discard the soaking water and drain the quinoa.
- In a small saucepan, add 2 cups of water and the quinoa and bring to a boil.
- Lower the heat and cover with a lid until the quinoa is cooked and there is no more water in the saucepan.
- Add the cinnamon, honey, vanilla and as much milk as you prefer.
- Consumer it plain or add toppings of your choice. Sliced strawberries and almond butter are my favorites!
