The berries are tasty, low in calories, and low in sugar. Berries are also a good source of fiber, and the blueberries add antioxidants. The variety of color and phytonutrients in this dish make it a nutritional powerhouse.

Most mornings I have quinoa porridge and I always mix between quinoa and chia, quinoa and oats, or quinoa and polenta. Quinoa, pronounced keen-wah, is a grain-like seed. Quinoa is complete protein food, which means it includes all of the eight essential amino acids that are needed for growth and repair.

It is so very easy and quick to do, plus it is jam-packed with nutrition!
