Breakfast, one of the most important meals of the day. At this moment I am experimenting a lot with it, as I need real good food after my morning yoga practice. I want something that is high in fiber and protein and very important, that I can prepare the day before, so that it is ready for me when I come back from practice, or even better, I can take it with me on the go!
In my fridge, you will always find a jar with chia pudding and regularly overnight oats. But this time I wanted something else. I could not let go of the thought to make something with quinoa. A cup of this cooked pseudo-grain contains 5 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein, which is very high for a plant based food. It fits really well in a healthy lifestyle and will assure that you have a great start of the day.
My experiment started with just quinoa, but was not totally convinced of the texture of the quinoa pudding that I made. There was something missing, something that made it taste and feel more like cooked oatmeal. So the experiments continued and then I knew it, I had to add bulgur. This is a perfect match with the quinoa, cooked in almond milk, coconut milk and a little vanilla and agave syrup. I really like the taste and texture of the pudding, even when eating it cold.
What you will also always find in my fridge is home made chia jam. This time a raspberry, lemon & mint version, which add a great deal of fruity freshness to the quinoa pudding. Topped with fresh raspberries, strawberries, roasted sunflower seeds and grated coconut, this breakfast comes very close to perfection, at least from my point of view!
I hope you will enjoy it as much as I do!
