I’m 53, and my youthful, active body needs high-quality protein.
This quinoa and amaranth porridge, when prepared the right way, gives my body complete protein to support healthy muscles, strong hair, nails, and bones. It’s also packed with vitamins and minerals.
And the best part? It’s incredibly delicious.
Quinoa has a rich, nutty flavor, and amaranth’s name literally means “immortal.” This bowl has everything I want to nourish my body for the long run.
Recipe
The night before:
• Soak 1 cup quinoa and ⅔ cup amaranth together.
• Soak ¾ cup raw cashews separately.
In the morning:
• Rinse the grains and cashews.
• Blend the cashews with 1⅔ cups water until smooth (about 2 cups of cashew milk).
• Pour the cashew milk over the quinoa and amaranth.
• Bring almost to a boil, turn off the heat, and let it sit for 30 minutes.
Finish with:
• 1 tbsp flaxseed oil
• 1 tbsp Jerusalem artichoke syrup
Top with fresh berries, or enjoy it with vegetables for a savory version.
Trust me… you’ll become obsessed with this porridge just like I did. ❤️
