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. With 14g of fibre per 100g it is right up there!!!

  • 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.
