Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup milk or milk substitute
  • almond, soy, or coconut beverage, plus more, to serve
  • ½ cup quinoa, rinsed well and drained
  • ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 2 Tbsps shredded coconut
  • 1 Tbsp chia seeds
  • Optional toppings: ½ cup diced mango, papaya or pineapple

Instructions
 

  • Bring milk or milk substitute to a boil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add quinoa and vanilla, stir, and bring back to a boil. Reduce heat and cover; cook for 15-20 minutes, or until almost all of the liquid has been absorbed. Let it rest, uncovered, for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the mashed banana, and then spoon the porridge into serving bowls, and top with shredded coconut and chia seeds. Serve warm with more milk, if desired.
  • ON THE GO TIP: Make this porridge a day or two ahead of time, and enjoy it hot or cold in the morning. Add the toppings right before serving to keep the flavours fresh.
