Instructions
Rinse quinoa thoroughly with cold water, then strain.
Put the rinsed quinoa in a pot with water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. Stir occasionally so the quinoa doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot. Take the pot off the heat and cover it. Let it sit for 5 minutes.
Put the cooked quinoa, along with 1/4 cup of water, into a Baby Bullet, food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Add additional water, breast milk or formula to reach your desired consistency.
Divide the batch into separate portions and mix different spices into each portion. (optional)
