Vanilla Quinoa Pudding
Quinoa in this application results in a cross between rice pudding and tapioca, with more protein than either.

•3 cups whole milk (works well with soy or nut milk for a vegan version)
•1 vanilla bean (split, or 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract)
•1/4 cup maple syrup
•pinch of salt
•1 cup quinoa
Rinse quinoa. Mix milk, vanilla, maple syrup and salt in a saucepan and set on simmer. Add quinoa and cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently (but not constantly).Once thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool. Serve warm, or refrigerate. Top with all kinds of delicious tidbits; berries, dried fruit, nuts, nutmeg, brown sugar, etc.

    I’ve added it to the recipe section of MFP entitled “Vanilla Quinoa Pudding”

    BUT, I made this a healthier way. I don’t even think people on MFP have heard of whole milk, lol jokes!

    What I plan to make using skim milk and sugar-free syrup and vanilla extract is
