Nutrient-Packed Quinoa Porridge for Women's Well-Being

The Perfect Quinoa Porridge: A Nutrient-Packed Breakfast for Women’s Well-Being

Welcome to a recipe that could become your new morning go-to: Quinoa Porridge! This comforting and nutritious bowl is designed to promote hormonal balance, steady blood sugar levels, and effective weight management. As an expert in women's health and nutrition, I highly advocate for starting your day with a nutrient-rich breakfast to set a positive tone for the rest of the day.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (190g) quinoa, rinsed and drained

  • 2 cups (475ml) unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5ml) ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25ml) ground nutmeg

  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) flaxseeds

  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) almonds or walnuts, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) MCT oil

  • Optional toppings: fresh berries and a dollop of yoghurt

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the quinoa, almond milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the quinoa is cooked through and has a creamy texture.

  2. Add Flaxseeds: Stir in the flaxseeds and continue to simmer for another 5 minutes. Feel free to add more milk to reach your desired porridge consistency.

  3. Prepare the Toppings: While your porridge simmers, take a moment to chop your almonds or walnuts and prepare any other toppings you fancy.

  4. Serve: Last but not least, stir in the MCT oil and transfer your porridge to serving bowls. Add a generous helping of fresh berries and perhaps a dollop of yoghurt for an extra treat.

This quinoa porridge is a versatile, nutrient-dense breakfast option that supports your body’s unique needs, whatever stage of life you're in.
