Description

A nourishing and great alternative to oats for those days that you'd perhaps like something a bit different... Great for breakfast or a snack! This recipe is found in the original Trim Healthy Mama book on page 227.

1 Single Serve Recipe

Ingredients
  • 1 cup quinoa (cooked)
  • 1/2 cup water
  • TH Super Sweet Blend (or THM Pure Stevia Extract Powder, to taste)
  • cinnamon
  • xanthan gum (or glucomannan)
  • 1 dollop 0% Greek yogurt (for a topping)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Place the cooked quinoa in a small saucepan.
  2. 2
    Add the water and turn the heat to medium-high.
  3. 3
    Add the sweetener to taste and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon.
  4. 4
    While porridge is heating, sprinkle in a little xanthan gum or gluccomannan and whisk like mad so no lumping occurs. The amount of thickener used will be very slight, quite a bit less than 1/4 teaspoon. This step is only to help all ingredients bind loosely together into a porridge consistency.
  5. 5
    Once the porridge is nice and hot, pour it into a bowl and put a nice dollop of 0% Greek yogurt on top. Eat each bite of porridge with a smear of Greek yogurt.
Note

A note concerning quinoa from page 226, "Morning Quinoa"...
"Quinoa cooks up quickly with one part grain to two parts of water or both. Make sure quinoa is rinsed well before use if it is from a bulk bin or if your packaged quinoa is not labeled as pre-rinsed. Quinoa can be used for breakfast, lunch, and dinner uses. If you want to make the grain taste more savory, use stock or broth in place of, or along with, the water. Add salt to the water before cooking."
