Quinoa Porridge

Quinoa Porridge

Quinoa is a powerhouse grain loaded with protein, fibre, magnesium, folate, and iron, which also makes it a wonderful grain for little ones and a great breakfast food when turned into Quinoa Porridge.

Quinoa & Oat Porridge with Banana, Yoghurt & Chia is a breakfast combination that Frankie has been enjoying as of late. It’s also one of my mix & match options which makes use of what could possibly be over 1000 blocks of batch-cooked and frozen baby food in the freezer.

Quinoa Porridge

1/2 cup raw quinoa, rinsed
1 cup water + extra for blending

  1. Bring the water to a boil in a medium size pot, add the quinoa, stir, and turn the heat down to a simmer. Cover and cook for 12 mins then remove from the heat and let it sit for around 5 mins. Transfer to a blender and purée until smooth (add extra liquid if the mixture is too thick).
  2. Transfer the porridge to ice block trays and freeze until solid, then store in a ziplock freezer bag or container. Can be frozen for up to 3 months. All you need to do when serving is pop a block of frozen porridge in the microwave for about 60-90 seconds, stopping halfway to give it a quick stir.

I made a big batch of Quinoa & Oat Porridge a few days ago, which made use of the recipe above + 1/2 cup of oat flour (whole oats blended in a food processor until they are super fine). Combine with the quinoa before cooking + add an extra cup of water.

I then served the porridge with puréed banana (which I also do in bulk and then freeze in ice cube trays) + 1 tsp of full-fat yoghurt + 1/4 tsp of chia seeds. If the porridge is too thick you can thin it down with a splash of breast milk or formula.

Frankie’s beautiful custom-made mobile by @mossi Frankie’s beautiful custom-made mobile by @mossiehandmade. I asked Nicolette for foxes and wild flowers, and couldn’t be happier with what she created 🦊
Someone told me yesterday that she’s looking mor Someone told me yesterday that she’s looking more like me but I don’t see it. I see my mom, flashes of my middle sister as a baby, and then some of her dad. There are flecks of green beginning to show in her dark blue eyes in certain light, which I’m claiming. Her hair is getting lighter and I’m sure if I shaved it off (which I would never do), she’s blonde underneath. She’s also very cheeky and smart so I’m claiming that, too. 

Nevertheless, I’m really enjoying this stage of my baby. Even in the last 2 weeks she’s become even more vocal, responsive, inquisitive, and cuddly. Even if she doesn’t look like me, at the end of the day she’s her own individual little person 🥰

The good news is my hair stopped falling out, which I’m ecstatic about. I’ve definitely noticed an improvement in its texture, elasticity and length. The best compliment of all though: My hairdresser asked me if I was taking something, because he couldn’t believe the difference since I saw him about 3 months ago. 

Would I recommend it for postpartum hair recovery? Absobloodylutely 💯

A riff on @pinchofyum’s Spring Detox Cauliflower Salad (which I first made years ago when I discovered her amazing recipes). Added a few handfuls of rocket, watercress and baby spinach + a grilled chicken breast for extra protein👌🏽
