Chef's Note

For the best texture, toast the grains before cooking - this enhances their nutty flavor. If preparing ahead, the porridge will thicken considerably in the refrigerator, so add extra almond milk when reheating. You can customize the seed and nut mixture based on what you have available, just maintain similar quantities to preserve the nutritional profile.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup steel-cut oats

  • 1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed

  • 1/2 cup bulgur wheat

  • 3 cups almond milk

  • 2 cups water

  • 4 scoops (120g) vanilla protein powder

  • 1/4 cup chia seeds

  • 1/4 cup flaxseeds, ground

  • 1/4 cup hemp hearts

  • 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)

  • 1/2 cup walnuts, chopped

  • 1/4 cup almond butter

  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons honey

Instructions
  • 1

    Toast the steel-cut oats, quinoa, and bulgur wheat in a dry pot over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

  • 2

    Add 3 cups of almond milk and 2 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low.

  • 3

    Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  • 4

    While the grains cook, prepare the berry mixture by washing 2 cups of mixed berries and setting aside 1 cup for topping. Mash the remaining 1 cup slightly with a fork.

  • 5

    After 15 minutes, stir the mashed berries, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons of honey into the porridge.

  • 6

    Add 1/4 cup each of chia seeds, ground flaxseeds, and hemp hearts to the porridge. Stir well and continue to cook for 3-5 more minutes until the porridge reaches your desired consistency.

  • 7

    Remove from heat and stir in 4 scoops (120g) of vanilla protein powder until fully incorporated.

  • 8

    Divide the porridge among four serving bowls. Top each bowl with 1/4 of the reserved fresh berries, 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts, and 1 tablespoon of almond butter.

  • 9

    Serve immediately while hot, or allow to cool and refrigerate in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of almond milk if needed.
