Hot Quinoa Cereal
A protein-rich alternative to oatmeal with a pleasant pop and nutty crunch
Why This Recipe Works
Quinoa provides a nutty, textured alternative to traditional porridge that stays light rather than gummy. Using prewashed seeds is the secret to avoiding bitterness while keeping the prep time under thirty minutes.
Instructions
Combine the quinoa, water, and salt in a medium saucepan.
Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat—the liquid should just begin to bubble at the edges.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the water is completely absorbed and the quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes.
Stir in the almond milk, honey, blueberries, and almonds.
Increase the heat to medium and cook until the mixture is heated through and looks creamy, about 2 minutes.
Serve warm, with extra almond milk for those who prefer a thinner consistency.
