Quinoa Porridge

INGREDIENTS:

​

• 1/2 cup quinoa

• 1 cup almond milk

• 1 tbsp. vanilla extract

• Cinnamon spice

• Cardamom spice

• Mineral Salt to taste 

• A light sprinkling of sunflower seeds

• One pear 

​

​DIRECTIONS:

​

• Add the quinoa to a medium-sized pot

• Cover with almond milk (this can be substituted with water, but almond milk will add sweetness)

• Cook this on a medium flame. Add a little more water or almond milk if needed, to make sure that there is enough liquid for the quinoa to cook

• Add salt

• Add vanilla extract

• Add the spices – consider cardamom and cinnamon

• Cover the pot with a lid, bring to a boil, and let cook for about 15 minutes

• Cut pieces of fresh pear and add it to the pot. No need to cook the pear, just make sure it is warmed up

• Give another minute or two to warm up the pear

• Put it in a bowl and add some sunflower seeds for garnish. You can add honey if it is not sweet enough for you.
