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