Quinoa & chia breakfast pots
Quinoa & chia breakfast pots
This is a gluten free version of my overnight oats recipe which is so easy to make and really tasty.
Quinoa is good in SO many ways:
It is a complete protein. This means it has all the essential amino acids found in animal protein which is unusual for a plant based food.
It is super high in fibre which is great for your digestive system.
Quinoa is often thought of as a grain, but it is technically a seed.
It has higher levels of protein, iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium than rice or wheat.
Ingredients: (makes 3-4 servings)
½ cup quinoa flakes
¼ cup chia seeds
¼ cup nuts/seeds
¼ cup dried fruit
1.5 cups milk of your choice
How to make:
Mix it all together and chill overnight. Ideally, mix a couple of times while it is chilling too!
Serve with a serving of fresh fruit and some yoghurt.

TIP: I found the quinoa flakes in New World in their awesome Pams super food range.
