Blueberry Quinoa Breakfast Porridge (Low FODMAP, GF, Vegan)

December 19, 2015 By Riley Leave a Comment

Blueberry Quinoa Breakfast Porridge

Want a protein-packed REAL food breakfast that’s super easy to prepare?  I’ve got you covered!

In fact, there is more protein (9 grams) in this porridge recipe than you will find in a single egg.  One of the difficulties with obtaining protein from non-animal sources is that it often lacks one or more of the nine essential amino acids.  But quinoa is an exception- it contains all nine!

My inspiration for creating this recipe was that I do not tolerate eggs very well and therefore find it challenging to get enough protein for breakfast unless I want to cook up some meat- and that just doesn’t always sound appetizing!

Although eggs are listed as safe on many SIBO diets, they are a common food sensitivity and I have met several individuals with SIBO who react poorly when eating them.  With that being said, I should also note that quinoa is NOT considered to be paleo or SCD-friendly.  But when you have to follow a restricted diet due to food sensitivities, I think it is important to not avoid a particular food because it is “allowed” or “not allowed”, but to try it and listen to the response from your body.

Author: Riley Wimminger
Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: American
Serves: 1
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup water
  • ¼ cup quinoa flakes cereal, uncooked
  • ⅓ - ½ cup frozen blueberries
  • 2 Tblsp roasted nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans), chopped
  • 1 Tblsp raw shelled hemp seeds
  • 1 Tblsp dried cranberries (this quantity is low FODMAP, but larger amounts may not be)
  • non-dairy beverage (almond milk, hemp milk, etc), to taste- optional
Instructions
  1. Add water to small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add quinoa flakes and stir continuously until thickened.
  2. Warm blueberries in microwave or on stove top.
  3. Transfer quinoa flakes to a bowl and add blueberries, nuts, hemp seeds, cranberries, and non-dairy beverage, if desired.
Notes
Quinoa flakes are very bland on their own, so I do not recommend leaving out the blueberries or dried cranberries. If you do leave them out, you will likely need to add maple syrup or other sweetener.

In case you missed it in stories, we’re MARRIED In case you missed it in stories, we’re MARRIED 💍 03.10.21 💕 #thehunteisover 

I feel so grateful to have this incredibly patient, funny, smart, and caring man in my life. 

Since this account is all about having hope in your struggles with “chronic” illness, I want to share part of my personal journey with you. In my early to mid 20s, I was trying to date while suffering from severe food intolerances and chronic digestive, skin, and other health issues. It felt incredibly frustrating and discouraging at times because I encountered people who looked down upon me as a future partner because of my health issues. 

But not this guy. He saw the strength I gained from my struggles. 

I knew he was a keeper when I developed my first UTI of our relationship (I was SUPER prone to them). While I rested and tried to recover naturally, he sat in a spot where he could see me and kept glancing over to check on me between cracking open each cashew. And after that, he wanted to learn everything he could to make sure he never contributed to me getting one again. Good news: I haven’t needed a course of antibiotics since then!

I just want you to know that good people are out there. Don’t feel hopeless. Be patient and true to yourself. Chronic illness can be one of life’s greatest teachers if you let it be.

NEW RECIPE: WILD BLUEBERRY BEET SMOOTHIE! Recently NEW RECIPE: WILD BLUEBERRY BEET SMOOTHIE! Recently I had a major craving for @JouleCraftedNutrition‘s Fair Shake Smoothie. The problem? I now live 2,000 miles away from this very special restaurant. So to try to solve this problem without getting on an airplane, I got to work in the kitchen (and got some help from Joule- they were so kind)! The result? A DELICIOUS homemade version that is loaded with antioxidants and is made with easy to find ingredients: beets, blueberries, spinach, avocado, lime, ginger, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, and water. It's tangy, gingery, subtly sweet, and super refreshing! Optionally, collagen can be added for a protein boost and moringa if your digestion needs an extra push along ;) Even without the moringa, the beets and ginger are perfect for kickstarting digestion! I like to enjoy this smoothie as a snack, for supplementing a meal when I need veggies without much effort, or as a light meal when I need to get out the door early but am not hungry. Recipe is on my website (there’s a clickable link in my bio) #glutenfree #dairyfree #soyfree #antioxidants #beets #blueberries
