Description

Discover how to make delicious Cranberry Orange Overnight Quinoa that’s perfect for a healthy breakfast! This easy recipe will revolutionize your mornings.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup quinoa, cooked (120 g)
  • 1/2 cup almond milk, unsweetened (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons dried cranberries (30 g)
  • 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) orange zest
  • 1 tablespoon crushed pecans (15 g)
  • 1 tablespoon almond slices (15 g)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) coconut sugar or sweetener of choice


Instructions

  1. Prepare the quinoa as instructed on its packaging and allow it to cool down before proceeding. Alternatively, you can use quinoa that is already cooked.
  2. Combine all the components in a bowl that is safe to use in a microwave. A half-cup of almond milk will result in a consistency similar to porridge. If you prefer a thicker texture, consider using between a quarter and a third of a cup or draining the excess liquid after cooking.
  3. Stir thoroughly and heat in the microwave for 2 minutes.
  4. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more sweetener if desired.

Notes

  • Consider using less almond milk or draining excess liquid for a creamier texture after cooking.
  • Enhance flavor by adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
  • Customize with your favorite nuts or dried fruits and adjust sweetness before serving.
