Delicious quinoa and banana porridge

Posted 2014-02-14 by Clare DeVillefollow
Quinoa porridge is not only delicious and highly nutritious - it is a wonderful alternative for those with a gluten intolerance or sensitivity who can't eat oat porridge. Extremely versatile, quinoa is low in calories and high in protein.

Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup quinoa
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 cup almond milk (or milk or your choice)
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey (one teaspoon if you've a sweeter tooth)
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Handful of nuts - optional



  • Method
  • Add the quinoa to a small pot or saucepan with half a cup of water. Bring to the boil then reduce to a simmer with the lid on.
  • Slice, mash or chop the banana.
  • Once the quinoa is cooked (all the water gone - should take ten minutes), add the milk and banana to the pot, replace the lid, turn the heat off and let it stew for a couple of minutes.
