As part of the challenge, I found this unreviewed recipe.  I soaked all the ingredients (except the milk) overnight in the Thermomix bowl then just had to add the milk and set the timer this morning whilst I did other chores. 

I didn't have quite enough quinoa so made the quantity up with chia seeds.  It was sweet enough without having to add any other sweetener and from this recipe for 2 serves I will get 3.

Thanks Kerryn, it's certainly a different breakfast but I did enjoy it once I got used to the crunch and having to chew a lot longer than I normally do

I love quinoa so I will try and remember to put it in the bowl tonight. Thanks.
