Quinoa milk recipe (high protein)

 

Celeb chef Teresa Cutter shows us how to make quinoa milk. It's easier than you might think!

With the march of coconut and almonds into milk cartons, it’s not easy choosing a faux moo juice. While researchers at the Universitat Politècnica de València are experimenting with hazelnuts, walnuts and chestnuts, we’re topping up our microwaved lattes with celeb chef Teresa Cutter’s  high-protein quinoa* milk. 

Ingredients*

Makes 1 litre (eight 125 ml serves)

  • 250 g cooked quinoa

  • 1 litre (4 cups water to blend)

  • 2 fresh, pitted dates or stevia

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract/paste

Method

Combine the quinoa and half of the water into a good high speed blender.

Blend at medium to high speed until creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to a minute.

Add the rest of the water and blend again.

Strain through a fine sieve and store the milk in the fridge for up to four days.

I’m trying to spread body love and body positivity because the message can get lost when people are focusing on things like weight loss stories; that’s not what I’m about." Instead of focusing on extreme diet plans , Robyn concentrates on getting fit and healthy. "I think exercise is a really great combat to depression, sadness and generally not feeling good about yourself," she says. "Fitness is where you get your endorphins and how you’re going to make yourself feel empowered. I like kickboxing, swimming and SoulCycle, which is a crazy American trend of cycling in the dark to crazy music. I’m terrible at it. I enjoy yoga as well. "I get into the trends like everyone...
