Coco-Quinoa Bowl
What you'll need
- 3⁄4 Cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 500ml water
- 1⁄2 - 1 Cup coconut milk
- 1-2 t Stevia or honey
- 1⁄4 t Ground cinnamon (plus more for serving)
- 2 T Walnuts (or nuts of choice)
- 1 Cup fresh blueberries (to serve)
- 1 T Raisins or chopped dried figs
- 2 T Coconut or natural yoghurt (to serve)
Now do this
- Rinse the quinoa really well and if you can, soak it overnight in the water (add a spoon of yoghurt or pinch of salt too if you like).
- In the morning, put the quinoa in a pot on the stove and add a little more water if needed. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, covered, for 10 minutes.
- Stir in some milk and the dried fruit and nuts. Cook, covered, for another 10 minutes, then stir in the stevia or honey, cinnamon and the remaining milk.
- Serve with blueberries on top and a dollop of coconut or natural yoghurt.
