A while ago I saw a video clip of an Olympic coach preparing “super” oatmeal - a recipe he invented for his athletes. I find oatmeal can be a little hard to digest, so I substituted quinoa and the result was a gluten-free delicacy.

This makes 4-5 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 2 cups almond milk
  • 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds
  • 2 tablespoons of chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons of almond butter
  • 1 tablespoon of cinnamon

Method:

  • Bring the almond milk and quinoa to the boil
  • Add other ingredients, mixing well.
  • Put on low heat, cover and simmer, stirring frequently or else it’ll stick to the bottom
  • Simmer until the liquid is mostly gone and pretty thick - about 10 - 15 minutes

Serve with a little extra almond milk and a tablespoon or two of maple syrup.

It keeps in the fridge for about 5 - 7 days.
