Coconut Quinoa Porridge with Cherries and Seeds
This is the porridge I would make for the morning if I have had quinoa for dinner; as all you have to do is set a little aside and your breakfast is half done.
METHOD
100 grams (3½ oz/½ cup) cooked quinoa*
90 grams (3 oz/⅓ cup) coconut cream
1 teaspoon rice malt syrup*
splash of soy or almond milk, if needed
2–3 cherries, pitted
1 teaspoon pumpkin seeds
dried mulberries or any other fruit or seeds of choice
Mix the cooked quinoa with the coconut cream and rice malt syrup. If a looser consistency is desired, add a splash of milk and cover and leave in the refrigerator until the morning. In the morning pull it out of the refrigerator, top with the cherries, seeds and fruit and you’re done. So easy.
