Quinoa Porridge

Quinoa Porridge 

Who has the same issue: too many leftovers and not knowing what to do with them. That's pretty much me at the end of every week. Whether it be a stir fry or quinoa, I always have an awkward amount left of it. 

While i was making breakfast this morning, I was leaning towards having a big bowl of oats, but what do you know, i didn't have any left! Then I decided to make banana ice cream, but I was stuck with only half a frozen banana, so that wasn't going to work. Soon enough, I moved onto the fridge, right there in front of me stood the ingredients to exactly what I was going to make.I was a big creamy, sweet, and comforting bowl of quinoa. This was by far the best breakfast I have ever eaten! Now this is the end to the story of how I came up with making amazing quinoa porridge or breakfast. 

You will need:

1/2 a frozen banana (you can use 1/2 a fresh mashed banana)
3/4 cup leftover cooked quinoa 
1 tsp of maple syrup
3/4 cup of almond milk (I use unsweetened vanilla)
1/4 cup water
Dash of cinnamon 

Pour the almond milk and water into a sauce pan along with the quinoa. On medium-high heat bring it to a boil and then put the lid on and bring it to a low-medium heat. Allow the quinoa to cook for 10-15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Then, add the banana, maple syrup, and cinnamon and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Serve into a bowl and top with fresh fruit, more cinnamon, granola, nut butter, honestly whatever you enjoy!
