Quinoa and milk are both complete sources of protein. This means that they contain all the essential amino acids or building blocks of a protein that your body needs to create a protein. Milk is also a great source of calcium which is vital for strong bones and teeth. Milk also has vitamin D which is needed for your body to absorb calcium properly. Quinoa is a good source of magnesium which is needed to activate vitamin D.

Quinoa is also a good source of phosphorous, iron, zinc, potassium, and copper. Two compounds called quercetin and kaempferol are found in quinoa which has anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-cancer and mood-enhancing properties.

Cinnamon increases the anti-inflammatory properties as well as the antioxidants. Peach is a great source of vitamin A which supports your eyes to function at their best as well as promotes optimal immune system function. Peaches also provide your body with vitamin C which is needed to make the protein collagen.

Pepitas are a good source of vitamin K which is needed for your blood to clot normally and plays a role in keeping your bones strong. Pepitas are also a good source of phosphorous, manganese, iron, and magnesium. This peach, blueberry and apple custard porridge with pepitas and quinoa is a breakfast that you do not want to miss out on.
