SO HOW'D IT GO?
This was so easy and delicious!! I added a little extra agave and vanilla soy milk! Yummy!!
This was excellent for breakfast! I am diabetic, so I only made one serving (1/4 cup dry quinoa). I used a serving of Ghiradelli semisweet chips instead of cocoa powder and agave.
I'm eating this now as a dessert (though I think it's much better suited for breakfast!). I had to add a bunch more syrup than in the recipe, but maybe that's just because I like it to be a little more soup-y. I also added more cocoa powder than mentioned & a generous helping of cinnamon.
Also, I used red quinoa instead of the regular stuff. (It has more protein & less fat, and the taste is a little bit heartier, too. Try it if you've never tried it before!) But I think this would be good with any grain... rice, couscous, oats, etc.
this was sooooo good. I had it with almonds, raspberries and a splash of almond milk. Omnomnom.
yumm. i use cinnamon, walnuts, and pure maple syrup instead of agave. :)
:)>>> i'M SO GLAD YOU LIKE IT!!!
I have it at least once a week. And bananas are pretty awesome with this too.
It's a grate little snack before or even after a really good workout. If you come up with any twists for this let me know. But I think its amazing the way it is.
WOAH WOAH WOAH. Where has this recipe been all my life...
I'm gld you like it. I know it sounds weird but it is pretty good,
I have added cinnamon to it too. It makes it pretty good too. =D
I just made somemore.
Oh yeah. This is really good. Quick and yummy! I eyeballed the measurements and added a little earth balance. I'm eating it for breakfast now.
Im not a huge fan of quinoa so im always lookign for ways to get it in and this looks fantastic!
