The Perfect Breakfast Porridge

This is a spin off of a recipe in the Eat Clean Diet book, and it makes for a perfect breakfast. It is amazingly high in protein, upwards of 10 grams per serving and is so even good my 21 month old eats it like ice cream. I usually make a big pot once or twice a week and have it for breakfast most days. It reheats beautifully, just add a little milk, raisins, and brown sugar. You will feel amazing after eating it and it really keeps you satisfied.

1 c quinoa
1 c rolled oats (do not use instant!)
4 cups water
1 apple, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/4 c flax meal (optional)
1/4 c wheat germ (optional)
1 tsp cinnamon
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp vanilla
Raisins
Brown sugar
Milk

Combine grains, water, apple, flax, and wheat germ in a pot with a lid. Bring pot to a boil and reduce to low and cover. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding more water if it begins to looks dry. Porridge is done when the quinoa puffs and the germ ring is visible. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla.

Serve in bowls with raisins, brown sugar, and milk.

Doesn't that look like a great way to start the day?

And just to prove my child eats it (or should I say bathes in it?)...
