Raw Cream of Wheat

January 28, 2008 at 1:54 pm 7 comments

Bella and I made this “raw cream of wheat” recipe this morning and it’s AMAZING! I found it on Gone Raw, but modified it a bit. I soaked the quinoa for about 12 hours and then drained them and put them in the fridge until morning…I probably needed to do it for a bit longer to get the full effect of sprouting them, but we’ll try that next time. We made a few modifications…

It was truly delicious.

Ingredients

3/4 cup Qunioa (soaked/sprouted) Adjust for consistency.
1 banana
¼ cup almond milk (to be truly raw, use homemade nut milk)
Agave nectar (to taste)
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
Salt to taste (Himalayan sea salts are best)
Top with your favorite nuts and fresh berries (we added blueberries)

Combine quinoa, 1/2 of the banana, milk, and a pinch of salt in blender. Pour into bowl and mash in the other 1/2 of the banana. Add nuts, agave, and fruit.

I’ve been learning about quinoa over the last year, but have yet to try it. This recipe makes me excited and gives me the nudge to finally try quinoa!

Also, I just recently learned about agave nectar and they started carrying it at Trader Joe’s…the grocery store I adore!! They also carry organic quinoa for only $1.99. More reason for me to try this!

And yet on another note, Sara, you had mentioned Yogi teas in a post a while back and I had never heard of it. But once I saw your post, I noticed that they carry a few types of Yogi tea at Trader Joe’s. Thanks for the recommendation! I love your site.

ooo…i would love to try this!! do you just soak it in water or do you add something? i soak all grains in either yogurt or apple cider vinager or lemon juice to make them easier to digest.

thanks!

Amanda…I sprout the quinoa by soaking it overnight, and then letting it sit inverted in a sprouting jar for 1-2 days. When you start to see little sprout tails, it’s ready 🙂 Yum yum! We just made this again and it was super easy and delicious!

Sara, what’s the easiest way to drain Quinoa? My strainer has holes that are too large, and just using a lid lets too many of the buggers get through. I’m baffled.
Thanks!
