Quinoa Porridge with Mixed Berries and Almond Milk

Ingredients

• cooked quinoa 1 cup
• mixed berries 1 cup
• unsweetened almond milk 1 cup
• honey 1 tbsp
• chia seeds 1 tbsp

Method

1. Prepare Ingredients. Measure out 1 cup of cooked quinoa, 1 cup of mixed berries, 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of chia seeds. If using frozen berries, you can thaw them slightly or use them frozen.
   Tip: Using cooked quinoa that has cooled makes the process faster.
2. Heat Quinoa and Almond Milk. In a small saucepan, combine the cooked quinoa and almond milk. Place over medium heat and stir occasionally until the mixture is warm and starts to thicken slightly, about 5-7 minutes.
   Tip: Stir frequently to prevent the quinoa from sticking to the pan.
3. Add Honey and Chia Seeds. Once the quinoa mixture is warm, remove from heat. Stir in the honey and chia seeds thoroughly. The chia seeds will absorb some liquid and help thicken the porridge further.
   Tip: Adjust honey amount to taste if you prefer it sweeter or less sweet.
4. Serve with Mixed Berries. Transfer the quinoa porridge to a bowl. Top with the mixed berries evenly over the porridge. You can gently stir some berries in or leave them on top for texture contrast.
   Tip: Add a few extra berries on top for a colorful presentation.

Pro tips

• Use fresh quinoa cooked in advance and stored in the fridge to save time in the morning.
• If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the porridge briefly after cooking.
