Equipment

  • Pot

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup quinoa
  • ¾ cup water
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • ½ cup blackberries
  • ½ cup blueberries
  • grate fresh ginger

For toppings

Instructions

  • Rinse the quinoa and then transfer into a pan with the water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cook for approximately 10 minutes, until most of the water has been absorbed and the quinoa has 'opened'. If it looks too dry add more water.
  • Pour in the non-dairy milk, blueberries, blackberries, ginger and chia seeds. Stir well to combine. Cook for a further 5-7 minutes until it becomes a porridge-like texture. Add more non-dairy milk if it becomes too dry, or to taste.
  • Spoon into your bowls, and sprinkle on the toppings. Drizzle over the maple syrup and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of non-dairy milk, using more for a 'looser' consistency.
  • If you prefer to be nut free, then simply swap out macadamia nuts for more pumpkin seeds.
  • Substitute fresh ginger for ground ginger if that's what is in your pantry!
