Chocolate Banana Breakfast Quinoa

Ingredients

1/3 C of uncooked quinoa

1 C of reduced fat milk (lactose free if needed) or if using unsweetened almond milk

1 large banana

30g of chocolate protein powder

1 tsp of vanilla essence

1 tsp of honey

dash of salt

Method

Add quinoa, milk and salt into a small pot and bring the mixture to the boil.

Once the mixture has boiled, turn the heat down and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the cooked quinoa into a bowl.

Mash the banana and add it to the quinoa, along with the honey, protein powder and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.

Add in an extra 1/4 C of milk and a couple more slices of banana if you wish to serve.

Makes 2 serves

Note: For those who cannot have normal/lactose free milk, you can swap it out for unsweetened almond milk. Increase the quinoa to 1/2 C and add an extra 1/2 C of water into the pan when boiling.
