Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup cooked quinoa cooled
  • ¼ cup chia seeds
  • 1 ¼ cup coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon cardamom or nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons honey optional
  • Sliced bananas cubed mango or peach, plain yogurt and a sprinkling of hemp seeds for garnishes

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together the cooked quinoa and the chia seeds.
  • Stir the cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg, and coconut milk into the seed mixture until fully combined. Make a decision about how much honey to add, if any. 
  • To make individual servings in advance: Pour/spoon evenly into four jars or glasses. Seal and place in the refrigerator overnight. Garnish in the morning. 
  • To make individual layered servings in the morning: After stirring the ingredients together in the evening, cover the container used for mixing. The next day, fill each glass or jar ⅓ full of the thickened chia-quinoa mixture. Layer in yogurt and fresh fruit. Spoon the remaining chia-quinoa pudding evenly onto the fruit layer, leaving a little space for topping. Top with more yogurt, mango, banana and hemp seeds.
