Healthy breakfast: raspberries quinoa porridge

I love quinoa! I discovered it earlier and prepared quinoa with chickpeas, dried fruits and spices.  It is the ideal food for a healthy diet. The aztecs consumed quinoa 5000 years ago and it was considered the source of their power. The Mother Grain!
Advantages:
♥ significantly more protein than any other cereal
♥ the quality of quinoa's protein is better than the meat protein
♥ technically speaking, quinoa is not a cereal, but a fruit 
♥ very rich in minerals & vitamins
♥ contains 4 times more calcium than wheat 
♥ contains iron, vitamin B & vitamin E 
♥ contains a reduced amount of fat
♥ contains essential fat acids.
I discovered another friendly way to introduce this wonder food in my kids meals. Next step: quinoa muffins.



500 ml soya milk + 400 g quinoa + 3 tbsp brown sugar + 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Serve with: raspberries, strawberries, more milk, if necessary.
Wash thoroughly the quinoa grains under a lot of running cold water, and drain well. Bring the soya milk to boil, add the quinoa and boil again. Simmer for 15 minutes, covered. Add the sugar & cinnamon and boil for 5 more minutes. Serve with red fruits, more milk, if necessary and a pinch of cinnamon. 

Light & healthy breakfast ♥
