Quick Quinoa Porridge
- 1½ cups water
- 30g white quinoa, rinsed well
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 70g apple or pear, peel on, cored and sliced into 1cm slices
- 20g frozen blueberries
Method
- Put quinoa, cinnamon and water into a pan and bring to the boil
- Turn down to a simmer and add the fresh fruit, keeping the berries aside
- When the grain has absorbed all the water and you see steam tunnels, turn it off and put a lid on the pan
- Leave aside for about 20 mins until the grain is soft
- Fluff with a fork taking care not to break the fruit
- Serve in a bowl topped with the berries and your choice of milk and a spoon of plain yoghurt.
This is great to make if you are heading off for a short run! When the pan is off the heat and the quinoa is softening, head out for your run and look forward to a warm healthy porridge on your return!
