Almond milk quinoa porridge is a nutritious and delicious breakfast option. Combining the nutty flavor of quinoa with the creaminess of almond milk and Greek yogurt, and the sweetness of blueberries, this porridge is packed with protein, fiber, and vitamins to kickstart your day.

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa
230g
2 cups almonds
240g
1 tsp cinnamon
3g
1 cup greek yogurt
240g
1 cup blueberries
150g
1/3 cup pistachio nuts
50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Almond Milk:
- Soak the 2 cups of almonds in water overnight or for at least 8 hours. After soaking, drain and rinse the almonds.
- Blend the soaked almonds with 4 cups of fresh water in a high-speed blender until smooth.
- Strain the almond mixture through a nut milk bag or a piece of cheesecloth into a large bowl or pitcher, squeezing well to extract as much liquid as possible. Set the almond milk aside.
2. Cook the Quinoa:
- Rinse the 1 cup of quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear to remove any bitterness.
- In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed quinoa and 2 cups of the freshly made almond milk.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the quinoa is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
3. Flavor the Porridge:
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of cinnamon into the cooked quinoa for added warmth and flavor.
4. Serve the Porridge:
- Divide the quinoa porridge evenly among serving bowls.
5. Top the Porridge:
- Add a dollop (approximately 1/4 cup) of Greek yogurt to each bowl.
- Sprinkle each bowl with a handful of fresh blueberries.
- Garnish with chopped pistachio nuts for added crunch and flavor.
6. Enjoy:
- Your almond milk quinoa porridge is now ready to enjoy! Serve warm and savor the nutritious and flavorful breakfast.

Tips:

- Rinse the quinoa thoroughly before cooking to remove any bitterness.

- Soak the almonds overnight for a smoother almond milk texture.

- Cook the quinoa in almond milk for an extra creamy consistency.

- Add the cinnamon towards the end of cooking to retain its aromatic flavor.

- Top your porridge with Greek yogurt, blueberries, and pistachio nuts just before serving for a fresh and crunchy texture.

- Experiment with additional toppings like honey, chia seeds, or sliced bananas for more variety.

Enjoy the wholesome goodness of almond milk quinoa porridge as a hearty breakfast or a satisfying snack. The blend of flavors and textures will make this dish a favorite in your kitchen, providing you with the nutrients needed to fuel your day.
