I never get tired of porridge in the colder months. It is such a filling breakfast. To change it up so I am not always eating the same, I often have quinoa porridge which is high in protein so a perfect choice. This is another quick and easy recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked quinoa
1-2 cups of cashew milk
1 apple (you can use any fruit of your choice)
1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
1 tablespoon of cashew butter
Optional
1-2 teaspoons of raw honey if you prefer your porridge sweet
Fruit of your choice for the topping. I like banana and strawberries
Cook the quinoa as per packet instruction. Do not worry if you cook too much because you can store the extra quinoa in the fridge and use it the next morning. To save time you can prepare the quinoa the night before. Next, place the cooked quinoa in a pan with cashew milk, heat it and stir for a few minutes. How much cashew milk you add is up to you, depending on how creamy you like your porridge. Then add the apple (grated or chopped), cinnamon and the cashew butter. Stir well and serve. Add the honey if you like it sweet. You can eat it as it is or if you prefer you can add some fruit of your choice. I like to add banana and since banana is sweet I do not add the honey. However you decide to eat your porridge enjoy!
I love porridge.. Never tried it with cashew milk tho, I can image how creamy it would be though 🙂
