Hold on. Before you start judging me why I used quinoa instead of chia seeds firstly read my comments below or try out this recipe straight away 🙂
Firstly, I do not like chia seeds and period. Mainly because it always get stuck between my teeth or somewhere in my mouth and also I am not a big fan of the slimy stuff. 🙂 Secondly, this quinoa pudding simply tastes better with white quinoa. It has a very nice texture, and the coconut milk goes well with the gentle taste of white quinoa and vanilla. And once you add a handful of fresh berries and some mint leaves on top, this pudding tastes better than any other one and it’s vegan.

Ingredients
2 cups canned coconut milk
1 large vanilla bean
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup coconut sugar
pinch of salt
1 cup cooked quinoa
2 tablespoons of shredded coconut
1 tablespoon of almond slices
a handful of fresh berries
Directions
- Place the quinoa into a fine mesh colander and rinse under running water for 30 seconds. Combine the quinoa and water in a pot (or a saucepan) and bring to boil. Then reduce the heat and cook the quinoa uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed. When quinoa is done, remove from heat, cover, and let the quinoa steam for 5 minutes.
- Cut the vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Set aside the seeds and the pod.
- Combine the coconut milk, coconut sugar, salt, vanilla seeds and the pod in a pot and bring to a simmer. Add the cooked quinoa and stir. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot slightly, and cook for about 10 minutes stirring every few minutes.
- After a while, the milk will reduce and thicken.
- Remove the vanilla pod from the pot, remove the pot from the heat and set aside to cool slightly.
- Split the quinoa pudding into the bowls and place into the fridge to cool completely.
- Sprinkle each bowl with shredded coconut, sliced almonds and fresh berries on top.

You can try it in a sushi as a rice alternative or even make it into a sweet pudding. […]
