I’m having a quinoa and fruit w apples, strawberries,and blueberries. It’s really good however it was a bit thick after simmering for 20 minutes so I did add a couple of tablespoons of almond milk not in the pot but in my bowl then I put the sautéed apples and the honey on top and it’s quite delicious.
Great recipe and very filling. I may try it with almond milk next time. Thanks for the tips.
Quinoa is typically cooked using a 1 part quinoa to 2 parts liquid. Ellie, you are correct if the full cup of water/milk was used with the cooked quinoa.
I added only 1/4 almond milk to the cooked quinoa and apples. Added the cinnamon and stevia instead of honey. Topped it off with the blueberries and strawberries. It was Yummy!
This recipe makes soup. Adding a cup of liquid to cooked quinoa is incorrect. I added 1/2 of raw quinoa, 1/4 c hemp seed and 2 T of chia to try to thicken it. Next time I’ll just eliminate the liquid and doctor up the quinoa as I normally would do with oatmeal
