It's been a little longer than I would have liked since my last post and I'll explain why. All the things I've tried recently just haven't worked out the way I would have liked so I haven't posted them, lets be honest quality is way more important than quantity.
I have a whole week off work so have loads of free time to experiment with new recipes, so lets get started with this healthy superfood porridge. This is a great way to start the day and will fill you up until lunch as well as providing a boat load of energy.
I started thinking of making this sometime last summer when I read somewhere you can use quinoa for porridge. I've added oats, almonds, raw cacao powder and chia seeds to make a super healthy, energising breakfast.
Superfood Porridge
Cook time: 19 minutes
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Quinoa
- 1/2 cup Oats
- 2 tbsp Raw Cacao Powder
- 1 tsp Chia Seeds
- 1 tbsp Ground Almonds
- 1 cup Dairy Free Milk
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 tsp Agave Nectar

- Add the oats and almonds stir then simmer for another 4 minutes.

You could make this is night before and keep it in the fridge for a quick easy breakfast the next day.
