* SOAKING QUINOA

Breakfast is surely a favourite time for me and I love starting the day with something nourishing.
Store-bought cereals are often devoid of nutrients and full of sugar. Most of the time the ingredients
are hardly recognisable. The quinoa in this cereal is a complete protein, and there are lots of vitamins
from the seeds and good fats in the nuts. This recipe is a staple in my house. I make a batch over the
weekend, ready for the busy working week. I like to serve it with fresh berries and almond milk or layer
it with yoghurt and fruit in containers for a breakfast-on-the-go option.

CRUNCHY GRANOLA

WORDS:MEG GILMER

Place 1 cup quinoa in a glass bowl with 1 cup

warm water. Leave for 12 hours then strain the

quinoa in a fi ne sieve and rinse well, until the

water runs clear. Make sure you thoroughly

rinse the quinoa, otherwise it can be bitter.

If you’re desperate to make this and you just

can’t wait overnight for the soaked quinoa,

simply rinse as instructed above and continue

with the recipe.
