Breakfast – the most important meal of the day. It’s definitely one that can set you up for a productive morning. This Quinoa Cinnamon Porridge is a tasty alternative to traditional oat porridge, packed with all the benefits that come with this fibrous seed. Originally from the Lake Titicaca basin in South America, the plant is now grown in the UK, amongst other countries. It’s packed with protein, dietary fiber, B vitamins and dietary minerals. This porridge is flavoured with cinnamon and vanilla, with a little crunch provided by coconut and almond flakes. Top it with blackberries and yoghurt to add a little tartness to this lovely warming breakfast.Time and servings
