Protein Porridge
Servings: 8
Ingredients
To make the mix:
- 2 cups of rolled oats
- ¼ cup of quinoa
- ⅓ cup of flaxseeds or flaxseed meal
- ¾ cup of pumpkin seeds
- ¾ cup of walnuts
- ¾ cup of almonds can be whole or sliced
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- optional: 3 tablespoons of plant based protein powder
To make the porridge:
- ⅔ cup of milk I used vanilla almond milk but you can use regular milk, soy milk, or whatever your favorite milk is
- 3 ounces of fruit berries work best, mashed if desired
- nuts for topping is desired
Instructions
- To make the mix, simply combine all of the mix ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until you get a consistency similar to coarse almond meal. You can make the mix thicker or thinner depending on your preferences but I prefer it the consistency of almond meal (see picture above).
- Store the mix in an airtight container until you're ready to use it.
- Once ready to make, combine 1 3/4 cup of the mix with 2/3 cup of milk in a small pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes over medium heat, stirring frequently. Take off of heat and stir in mashed fruit if desired.
- Top the porridge with more fruit and nuts if desired.
- ENJOY!!!
