CINNAMON QUINOA + BANANA PORRIDGE
It's Thursday + you know what that means: NEW recipe alert! #YAS
Every Thursday I'm going to be bringing you beauties a new body loving recipe! Whether it's a breakfast, lunch, snack or dinner recipe—I'll be here to brighten up your lives one recipe at a time ☺️ so stay tuned!
Yesterday was #workoutwednesday and our trainer Lauren kicked our booty with a strength training session + when I woke up this morning I was desperate for some protein and something substantial enough to feed my body after yesterday's session 🏋🏽💥
I've grown a secret obaes soon + MAJOR love for porridge because I'll be honest, when I was younger I could never [and I mean never, ever, EVER] fathom the texture and would stay far, far, I mean like F A R away from anything that had to do with porridge. Fast forward 10 years later + look where I am today—obsessing over it, LOL. #gofigure 🤓
However, instead of using oats today 🤔 or a different type of grain typically used in porridge, I switched it up and made it with quinoa!
I love quinoa. Seriously. Top 10 favorite things of all time. No joke! I love everything about it, I mean, what's not to love? It's so dang versatile + can literally be transformed to take on any sort of flavor pallet of choice 😍 a.k.a quinoa over everything! Okay, well, not everything everything, but you catch my drift babes!
Here's how I did it + you babes 'gotta do it, try it, and let me know what you think!
I N G R E D I E N T S
- 1/4 cup of organic quinoa
- 1 cup of water
- 1 egg white
- 1/2 cup Siggi’s Dairy plain filmjölk, drinkable yogurt
- 1 teaspoon maca power
- 2 ripe bananas, roughly smashed
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

D I R E C T I O N S
- Combine quinoa + water into a small pot, over medium heat, and bring to boil.
- Once all the water is evaporated—reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender + all liquid is absorbed.
- Once quinoa is about done—stir in egg white until it is fully + thoroughly incorporated.
- S I D E N O T E: adding an egg white provides extra lean protein + creates a fluffy luscious oat texture—and no, you can NOT even taste it! #magic
- Add remaining ingredients + remove from heat.
- Spruce it up—add your toppings, make it all pretty + EAT UP!
