Hi guys!
Get a proper start to your mornings with this quinoa porridge that is packed with superfoods!
Instead of having your greens in a green smoothie, why not mix it up a bit and have it in your porridge. Kale is a nutritional powerhouse, being an anti-inflammatory food that is high in iron and vitamin k. Not a bad way to start the morning 😉
