  • This porridge comes together in no time. You make the dry mix ahead, then scoop out what you need whenever you want it — really convenient for busy mornings. One of the stars of the mix is quinoa, a seed crop often used like a grain that's earned a spot among the world's healthiest foods. It's packed with vitamins and minerals, and unlike many grains, it's almost completely digestible. 1. Add the rolled oats to a blender. Toss in the quinoa, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, and almonds. 2. Grind everything to the texture you like. Here it's ground to a coarse, almond-meal consistency — go finer and more powdery, or leave it coarser, depending on your preference. 3. Measure about 250 grams (a heaping cup) of the mix into a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan and pour in the milk. Transfer the rest of the dry mix to an airtight container and store it somewhere cool and dark. 4. Set the saucepan over medium heat. Once it comes to a simmer, stir in the rinsed blueberries. Cook for 4–5 minutes from the moment it boils, stirring constantly. 5. Let the porridge cool slightly, then stir in the protein powder, mixing gently. Spoon into bowls and serve. It's lovely topped with a few whole almonds, sunflower seeds, or extra blueberries, but that's up to you — use whatever toppings you like. Enjoy, and stay healthy!
