Instructions

1
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve under cold running water for at least 1 minute. This is a crucial step to remove the natural bitter coating (saponin).
2
In a small saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
3
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it stand, covered, for 5 minutes. After resting, fluff the quinoa with a fork.
5
To the cooked quinoa, stir in the almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Return the saucepan to medium-low heat.
6
Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, until the mixture thickens to a creamy, porridge-like consistency.
7
Divide the warm quinoa porridge between two bowls. Top with mixed berries, sliced almonds, and a sprinkle of chia seeds. Serve immediately.
