Tipps

Rinse Your Quinoa

It's important to rinse quinoa before cooking to remove any bitterness on the outside of the quinoa.

Watch the Simmer

Keep the simmer low, so the porridge doesn't burn or stick to the pan.

Make It Your Own

Feel free to add more or less honey, depending on how sweet you like your porridge.

Healthy Toppings

Consider adding some additional toppings for variety such as a sprinkle of cinnamon or some sliced almonds (if tolerated).

It's All About Timing

Blueberries should be added at the very end to avoid overcooking and losing their vibrant taste and color.
