Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 0.25 cup quinoa
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.25 cup pea protein powder
- 1 large banana
- 0.5 cup fresh berries
- 2 tablespoons sliced almonds
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, quinoa, unsweetened almond milk, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer.
Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for approximately 10 minutes, or until the oats and quinoa are tender and have absorbed most of the liquid.
Stir in the chia seeds, vanilla extract, maple syrup, and pea protein powder, ensuring the porridge is smooth and well-combined.
Continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the porridge achieves a creamy consistency, adding a bit more almond milk if needed to reach your desired texture.
Remove the porridge from heat and let it sit for a minute to thicken slightly.
Slice the banana and gently fold it into the porridge.
Divide the porridge between two bowls and top each serving with fresh berries and a sprinkling of sliced almonds.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed vegan breakfast!
