Chai Spiced Quinoa Bircher

Quinoa Bircher - An Apple A Day

Quinoa Bircher, because sometimes it’s just too hot for quinoa porridge! For added nutrition, opt for tri-coloured quinoa in order to boost your nutrient content. Given that you’re purchasing, preparing and eating the quinoa already, you’d be crazy not to opt for the extra nutrient boost.

Units Scale
  • 250 ml water
  • 1 cinnamon quill (stick)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla powder
