Detox Quinoa Oatmeal Porridge
Cold mornings call for a warm, hearty, cozy bowl of Detox Quinoa Oatmeal Porridge!
Ingredients
- 1 14- ounce can regular or light coconut milk*
- ½ cup quinoa
- a pinch of salt
- 1½ cups rolled oats use gluten-free, if needed
- 1 cup juice or water - detox water is perfection in this
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Bring the coconut milk to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add the quinoa and salt and cook for 15 minutes or so and until quinoa is fully cooked. Add the oats, detox water and cinnamon - cook for just a few more minutes to soften the oats.
- Spoon porridge into cereal bowls and top with your favorites. Leftover porridge will keep in the fridge for a few days and is easily reheated on the stove or in the microwave. It will thicken in the fridge, so you may want to add a splash of coconut or almond milk to leftovers before serving.
Notes
* I used regular unsweetened organic coconut milk in my recipe and to calculate nutritional info.
** For a thicker porridge, only add about ½ cup of the detox water. For a thinner porridge, add the full cup. You may want to start with ½ cup and add more as needed and as the mixture soaks up more moisture. Optional for topping: banana slices, berries, coconut flakes, nuts, seeds, nut butter, maple syrup and/or honey for topping
