Power Porridge with Cinnamon

This beautiful, easy to make, easy to digest winter and autumn breakfast will give you strength, especially for Vata and Pitta bodies. You can change the grains - millet, buckwheat (for Kapha) and brown rice (for Vata and Pitta) are also very good.

The recipe

Serves 2

Ingredients

½ cup oats
¼ cup quinoa
2 cups water (for soaking)
½ cup almond milk
½ cup water

a pinch of Himalayan rock salt

1 Tbs currants
½ ts cinnamon powder
1 Tbs honey, maple or coconut syrup (optional)

Directions 

1. Soak the oats and quinoa in plenty of water the night before.

2. In the morning, pour off the soaking water and bring the grains, currants and a pinch of salt with ½ cup water and ½ cup almond milk to the boil, then simmer for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally so that it does not stick to the bottom, until thickened and smooth.  

3. Sprinkle cinnamon on top and serve with additional almond milk and (optional) sweetener.
