zero waste breakfast.jpg

A great alternative breakfast for when you’re getting a little tired of oat porridge, which normally happens around February for us! Recipe from the Every Day cookbook from Deliciously Ella.

You’ll need a saucepan.

Serves 1

Ingredients (when in italics available from the van)

60g quinoa (42p)

150ml milk of choice

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (approx 13p)

fruit of choice - banana or pear work well!

Total cost from Incredible Bulk approx £0.55

Method

Place quinoa in a saucepan with 100ml of boiling water, the milk and honey and allow the mixture to come to the boil.

Once boiling reduce to a simmer for 15 mins until quinoa is fluffy and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

About 5 mins before the porridge is ready slice your fruit and add to the porridge along with the ginger and let everything cook together for the remaining time before serving.

Option to add nuts, seeds and dried fruit, also works nicely with cinnamon if you’re not a fan of ginger.

Zero Waste Tips

Make your own nut or oat milk to avoid packaging.

Buy local honey in glass jars, you can often return the jar to be reused!
