Quinoa Porridge with Raw Egg Yolk

main
I wonder if you have prepared a breakfast quinoa porridge before?. If not, I am going to show you how! You are going to love it!

I LOVE quinoa, and I find it so versatile, that you really can combine it with almost everything. When I have some quinoa leftovers, I love to turn into a delicious cozy breakfast quinoa porridge. Have you tried it before? It is similar to the oat porridge but with even greater consistency (in my opinion).  In case you haven’t tried it before, here I am going to show you how to make it with a little twist! And that is the raw yolk.

Raw yolk? ok before you tell me that it will taste funny, Im’m here to assure you that it will not. Trust me. All the contrary, it will taste creamy and really good.

Raw egg yolk has been a trend all over the internet for some time now. You can see people adding it into coffees and fruit smoothies. So I thought I could give it a try to add it this quinoa porridge recipe and what a success it was!

One of the many advantages of eating egg yolk is the source of choline, cholesterol and saturated fats you are getting. As women we need all of these three compounds to thrive and egg yolk will provide them to you 🙂

This recipe is great for winter season, and for vata and pitta (ayurvedic doshas).
