Peruvian Cuáker

Written by: Ceri, ZENXIN Masterchef Here is a bowl of goodness combining the wonders of oats and quinoa, cooked with cinnamon and pineapple to support you through the day.  The addition of rich Peruvian mixed quinoa to our healthy Finnish oats is a match made in heaven. Quinoa is a complete plant protein with all nine essential amino acids and omega-3. Together with oats, excellent fibre is available in this breakfast delight to improve digestion and gut motility. Oat avenanthramides also help increase production of nitric acid to reduce blood pressure, improve blood flow and bromelain from pineapple help reduce inflammation.  Lastly, cinnamon helps lower blood sugar levels, reduces heart disease risk factors and contains antimicrobial cinnamaldehyde. Peruvians have long started their day with a mug of thin, superfood porridge normally made of quinoa or amaranth, but with the arrival of the Spanish, oats have become a popular choice. In Lima, this breakfast drink may be served hot or cold depending on the weather.
