Try this invigorating spice in your next morning porridge! This Cardamom Quinoa Porridge is deliciously healthy, incredibly energetic, and definitely addicting.
Did you know cardamom has long been used for medicinal propeerites in Eastern Europe? It’s been shown to improve energy so it’s a no brainer to add it to your morning smoothies, oats, or my newest creation, Cardamom Quinoa Porridge.
Seriously friends, this was so good I had it twice this week. The first time I topped my quinoa porridge off with fresh raspberries and chopped almonds with an additional pour of unsweetened vanilla pea milk.
As yummy as this was, I think it’s even better with freshly diced pears. I have decided cardamom and pears are a match made in heaven! You gotta try this and see for yourself. SOOOO GOOD!
Whichever version you decide to make, you can’t go wrong. Not only is this energizing, It’s high in fiber, it’s gluten free, it’s vegan, and since quinoa is a complete protein, it makes a great post workout meal. Or to be honest, an excellent mid afternoon snack 😄 .
I used sprouted quinoa from @thrivemarket but regular would work too. If you have whole cardamom pods, grind them as needed. Otherwise use cardamom powder. I am so in love with this porridge and hope you will be too! Please let me know which version you decide to try.
You know what else I am loving right now! The one and only Des Linden did it again and she will be doing her thing all over again this fall. What am I talking about? Well if you have’t heard, she broke the WORLD RECORD in the 50K last week. It was her first time running that distance and she crushed it.
But that’s not all. Today on marathon Monday (Patriot’s Day) she announced she will be racing Boston again this October. She’s back! GO DES! She just keeps showing up and inspiring me to do the same.
