Happy to take on the burden of testing this one ...
I loved the concept but it was far too sweet for me, so I built my own supportive twist on it. Also the 31g of protein and choline is split across 2 portions so a little inaccurate.
Blood sugar balance is so important during pregnancy - especially in the first trimester as it can help reduce symptoms like nausea and vomiting (my old friends).

Here’s my upgraded version:
Ingredients (serves 2)
• 1/2 cup quinoa (rinsed well)
• 2 cup milk of choice
• 2 eggs
• 1 tbsp ground flaxseed
• 1/6 cup chicory or maple syrup
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
Blueberry chia jam topping:
• 2 cups frozen blueberries
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• squeeze of lemon juice
Method
1. Rinse quinoa thoroughly.
2. Add quinoa, milk and vanilla essence to a saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 12-15 minutes until absorbed but not fully.
3. Whisk eggs, flaxseed and syrup separately in a bowl.
4. Take off the heat and slowly stir the warm quinoa mixture into the eggs 1 tbsp at a time, until half is in the bowl stirring continuously so they thicken without scrambling.
5. Then add the contents of the bowl back into the pan and turn the heat back on - keep stirring every 10-20 seconds until thick.
6. Add to serving bowl and top with some greek yogurt and berry jam.
For the topping:
Gently heat berries of choice with a squeeze of lemon until they break down (10 mins) then take off the heat. Stir in chia seeds and leave to thicken for 10 minutes.
