This is my new favourite breakfast. Nourishing, delicious and portable – perfect if you’re a little time poor in the morning. For more information on quinoa, read this.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup quinoa flakes
- ½ cup almond milk
- 1 big splash of water (preferably filtered)
1 tablespoon of all/your choice of the following:
- Pea protein powder
- Coconut flakes
- Cashew nuts, crushed or finely chopped
- Sunflower seeds
- Chia seeds
- Coconut/Greek yogurt
- Nut Butter
- Cacao
- Cinnamon
- Rice malt syrup
Method
- In a glass jar or airtight container, combine quinoa flakes, milk and water.
- Add your choice of ingredients and stir well, before refrigerating overnight.
- Serve chilled and topped with any more of the above ingredients. I like to add a touch more coconut yogurt and a sprinkle of cashews for extra crunch. Enjoy.

Hi again, can you provide a nutritional breakdown for this recipe? Could you do the same for your cold quinoa breakfast?
I have just discovered your website and have pinned a lot of you recipes. Tried this one last night and am enjoying it this morning. Was thrilled to find that you are a Melbournian like me. It is great to have Australian products suggested rather than American. Certainly makes life easier. Thank you for sharing.
