Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

1 cup Quinoa
2 cups Soy Milk

Fruits

1 1/2 cups Frozen Strawberries
1 Banana

Add-ins and Toppings

2 tablespoons Almond Butter
Honey, to taste
Optional: sliced fruit, nuts, or seeds for topping

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Rinse 1 cup of quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove any bitterness. Gather 2 cups of soy milk, 1 1/2 cups frozen strawberries, 1 banana, and 2 tablespoons almond butter.
Combine and Cook: In a slow cooker or crockpot, add the rinsed quinoa, soy milk, frozen strawberries, sliced banana, and almond butter. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Slow Cook: Cook the mixture on low heat for 6 to 8 hours overnight. This slow cooking process allows the quinoa to absorb the flavors and achieve a creamy, porridge-like consistency.
Serve: In the morning, stir the porridge to mix any settled ingredients. Serve warm and top with additional sliced fruit, a drizzle of honey to taste, and any nuts or seeds you have on hand for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

Using frozen strawberries adds natural sweetness and helps thicken the porridge as they cook down.
You can substitute soy milk with any plant-based milk, such as almond or oat milk, if preferred.
Adjust the amount of honey to suit your desired sweetness level or skip it for a lower-sugar option.
For added protein, consider topping with chopped nuts or a spoonful of additional almond butter.
If you don’t have a slow cooker, this recipe can be adapted for a low simmer on the stovetop for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
