Ingredients

• ¼ cup of uncooked quinoa flakes

• ¾ cup of unsweetened almond milk

• ½ tablespoon of almonds, chopped

• ½ cup of fresh berries

cooking time in the morning.

• Heat on low-medium heat until simmering, stirring regularly.

• Cook for approximately 5 to 6 minutes, or until the porridge is thickened, smooth and

creamy.

Variations: Use rice milk instead of almond milk if preferred. Add ½ sliced banana or ½

chopped apple instead of berries.
