Quinoa Porridge

Trinity's Kitchen

Quinoa porridge
Prep Time: 10M
Cooking Time: 25M
Serves: 4

In need of a healthy vegan breakfast? This nutritious, gluten-free quinoa porridge is a great way to start your morning.

Whilst fresh berries are optional for this recipe we recommend a selection. Which breakfast hasn’t been improved by adding blueberries after all? Strawberries, blackcurrants, blackberries and even cranberries can be used to add zest and zip to this porridge as well as additional nutrients.

It’s not to say that fruit is needed to add health benefits. Dates are high in fiber, potassium, and antioxidants, and quinoa has it’s own array of benefits too. As well as being a complete proten and also high in fiber and rich in antioxidants, it contains mireals like folate and magnesium, is gluten-free and can support heart and gut health too. It also creates a feeling of fullness which is an idea way to start the day!

Method

  1. Rinse quinoa thoroughly using an extra fine sieve. This removes any of the natural soapy, saponins that sometimes coat quinoa.
  2. Chop dates into small pieces and then add all ingredients to a pan (leaving out the cinnamon or berries, which will be added once served).
  3. Bring pan to the boil and simmer on a low heat for 25 minutes (or until the quinoa has absorbed all of the liquid). Stir once in a while with a wooden spoon. The dates should slowly fall apart melting into the pan to create a delicious sweetness. If the dates are particularly tough, then encourage the breaking down process by pressing them down with your spoon.
  4. Once cooked enjoy your quinoa bowl served hot or cold, adding a sprinkle of cinnamon and/or a small handful of fresh berries.
