A smart horse person feeds herself well along with her horse. Since our horses are reliant on us and nutrition is a vital part of a healthy life it serves us all well to become healthier or stay healthy. And it's always easy to do with YUMMY food! At Red Horse Training & Care we teach others and are always continuing our own education in how to consume an organic, non-GMO, mostly raw, mostly vegan diet. After decades of research and apprenticeships with nutritionists and holistic physicians, we both believe and witness on a daily basis the positive healing outcome of this approach. Every horse and person is unique so we stay away from saying "never" and "always"except when it comes to organic and GMOs. This satisfying recipe along with many others we hope to share can be tweaked to meet your dietary needs and preferences. However I will say "I sincerely wish that any animal products you use come from animals that are raised humanely, free-to- move, eat and feel healthy themselves and have companionship while alive".
Thanks!
Here's to eating well, feeling well and being with our horses!!
Sprouted Quinoa and Coconut Porridge
(especially good for a cold morning before going to the barn!)
1 Cup Sprouted Quinoa (easy-no brainer- will list at bottom)
1/2 Cup soaked, finely shredded Coconut ( keep the soaking water)
1/2 Cup soaked, finely shredded Coconut ( keep the soaking water)
1TBSP Hemp Seeds or seed of your preference ( hemp is super yummy, nutritious and need not be soaked! :) )
1/2 Tsp of cinnamon or as much as you like (I use 1TBSP)
1/2 Tsp of cinnamon or as much as you like (I use 1TBSP)
1/4 Tsp Sea or Himalayan Salt
5 INGREDIENTS-THAT"S IT!
In a blender, puree coconut and water.
In a pot, on LOW warm quinoa to a desired texture, the less time on heat the more enzymes and nutrients you leave in tact. I like about 5 minutes below simmer with a lid on the pot.

Add, cinnamon at this time and a minute or so before done add your coconut "milk" with the pulp left in it for more lovely flavor and texture, Add hemp seeds and salt if desired. I like to add a bit of *OCPV Coconut-oil on top in place of butter because I LOVE HEALTHY FAT!! : p and wah-lah! A VERY NUTRIENT DENSE breakfast that will keep you going for a long-time!
What I like about these recipes is that you can tweak just about everything from seasonings, temperatures, times and even ingredients, but I like quick and easy and cinnamon so this is my fav!
