    Just a tip: If your quinoa has not been pre-rinsed, the first step is to remove the saponins (a bitter coating) by thoroughly rinsing the quinoa in running water for several minutes.

    @sa11yjane - cool whip is a whipped dessert topping (Cool Whip is the brand name).... kind of like whipped cream but its frozen and comes in a tub (and it's an 'edible oil product'! yuk! that alone puts me off it...). I don't think it's available in the UK and i'm trying to think what the equivalent would be in the shops... do you have Dream Whip there? It's just sweet fluffy white stuff - like spray cream but not really....

    I think I'm gonna try it with unsweetened almond milk instead of water - for creaminess and calcium - and stevia. Skipping the cool whip - almond milk should be enough. I might just try it with oatmeal too...

    I am absolutely a fan of quinoa!!! I think I will love it even more with a dessert version.
