Welcome To My Kitchen – Making Quinoa Milk Pt.2
Please join me in my kitchen as I prepare Quinoa milk for my little girl!
Some information on Quinoa:
Called a supergrain, quinoa is highly nutritious and can supply us with all of the body’s requirements: carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Quinoa is gluten free and considered an ideal food for those prone to food allergies. Common allergens include grains from the grass family such as corn and wheat. Quinoa, a leafy grain, is not in the grass family, making it beneficial for people who cannot tolerate common grains like wheat, corn, rye, barley, and oats.
Quinoa is considered to contain all the essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. According to the Alternative Field Crops Manual of the University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension, “Quinoa is a highly nutritious food. The nutritional quality of this crop has been compared to that of dried whole milk by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. The protein quality and quantity in quinoa seed is often superior to those of more common cereal grains.
Quinoa possesses larger quantities of calcium, fat, iron, phosphorus, and B vitamins than many other grains. One-half cup of cooked quinoa contains 15.5 mg of calcium, compared to 8.5 mg in the same quantity of cooked whole-wheat cereal. The protein content is a whopping 4.1g for that one-half cup of cooked quinoa. Potassium is impressively high with 159 mg. as is zinc with 1 mg. Other impressive figures include 1.38 mg of iron, and 59 mg. magnesium. In the category of fiber quinoa rates top scores with 2.6 grams for one-half cup cooked grain.
(***PLEASE NOTE:
The consistency of the quinoa milk is more like a watery porridge because I cook the grain before blending. It will not have the thin water like texture you get with soaking a grain before blending it. This is particularly why I make it only for the baby.)

You don’t have to …
You don’t have to apologize…I understand. When I say rinse I mean I do a quick wash in the sink right before I cook the quinoa. I wash it 2-3 times pouring the water on it and then off of it to get off the bitter taste.
sorry :s can you …
sorry :s can you tell me what id rinsed, do you mean that you put the quinoa in water like 24 hours?? sorry i dont speak very well english
Thanks!
Thanks!
I rinsed it 2-3 …
I rinsed it 2-3 times as I mentioned in the video demonstration and then cooked it. When I am finished cooking the quinoa it is very mushy in texture. Sometimes I add even more water and it is so soft you cannot even see the round shape.
It makes it blend smoother this way.
Great song!
Great song!
also what did you …
also what did you do with the quinoa before you put it in the blender, did you put it in water 24 hours ago)) or did you put the quinoa in hot water a copuple of minutes?, also i did the quinoa milk but there was like little pieces of quinoa and it was bad, thanks
Although, I’ve …
Although, I’ve noticed on other websites women do make this grain into a beverage using the same ingredients for their families.
I guess it’s just a matter of what your tastebuds like in terms of texture.
The color of my …
The color of my beverage is more of a tan to yellow color depending on the variety of quinoa being used…it’s never white although it may look that color in the video.
My quinoa milk is very creamy and I adjust the creamy consistency with the amount of water I add to the blender. If you look on the side bar to your right, I mentioned below that the beverage has the consistency of a porridge which is why I make it for our oldest baby/toddler.
Thanks…I’m unsure …
Thanks…I’m unsure as to the exact calcium content of cows milk, but I know the quinoa grain/seed has the highest calcium compared to many other grains. With this beverage being a part of a whole foods diet (natural unprocessed foods), calcium intake should never be a problem.

It is very bitter tasting and was used to enduce vomiting. I accidentally improperly washed a pot of quinoa I intended to use for my daughter and I was also experimenting with not cooking it first but just letting it soak…and then blending it for milk. Well, she vomited all day and was not able to keep down anything for just about 24 hours.

By natural nursing …
By natural nursing helpers, you mean herbs that will help you produce more milk or something? Or sisters supportive of nursing? …lol…I wasn’t sure what you meant.
You’re welcome. …
You’re welcome. Thanks for your message & your spirit. Both were greatly appreciated. Mainstream medicine as many know makes a woman feel like she’s failing if her baby isn’t chubby or not receiving protein & the like through the mothers milk from meats, poultry, or fish. I know better now & I’m committed to seeing my nursing through on a vegan diet. My other two children are happy &healthy vegans, this one will be too. I may have to learn a bit more about natural nursing helpers though. Shalom!
