Quinoa Porridge with Caramelized Fruits

Hello steemians,

How are you today? Hope to found you good and full of energy!

For me, it's a 'neeehhhh' day. I'm very tired. Of everything, not just one thing! Don't get me wrong, I'm good and I've never been so alive. But there are things that make us tired and busy, that's all. You enjoy your life but in the end of the day, you just feel you're done. I guess it's part of this game called life!

Good and bad, we must have it all, right!?

Anyway, I took my time to write this recipe for you. You know I love breakfast and this is that kind of breakfast I make really often. Easy peasy in a few minutes! Maybe you can give it a try!

Quinoa Nutrition Data

Here are just a few words about quinoa, maybe you get inspired to consume it more often!

Quinoa Flakes are basically pressed quinoa, so they have the same properties as quinoa seeds. Since quinoa flakes are flat, they mimic the texture of rolled oats, which means that you can replace oats with these nutritious tiny seeds anytime.

Data on Wikipedia

Raw, uncooked quinoa is 13% water, 64% carbohydrates, 14% protein, and 6% fat. Nutritional evaluations indicate that a 100 g (3.5 oz) serving of raw quinoa seeds is a rich source (20% or higher of the Daily Value, DV) of protein, dietary fiber, several B vitamins, including 46% DV for folate, and the dietary minerals magnesium, phosphorus, and manganese.

After cooking, which is the typical preparation for eating the seeds, quinoa is 72% water, 21% carbohydrates, 4% protein, and 2% fat.[17] In a 100 g (3.5 oz) serving, cooked quinoa provides 120 kcal (500 kJ) and is a rich source of manganese and phosphorus (30% and 22% DV, respectively), and a moderate source (10–19% DV) of dietary fiber, folate, and the dietary minerals, iron, zinc, and magnesium.
