Meanwhile, flaxseeds offer omega-3 fatty acids, which help support heart health, immunity, and inflammation control. Apples add a natural sweetness and fiber boost, making this porridge both tasty and healthy—no added sugar needed!
Easy Quinoa Porridge Recipe (Serves 1)
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice (coconut, almond, or rice)
- 1.5 cups pre-cooked quinoa (cook a batch and freeze portions)
