Servings: Yields 4 cups

1 cup quinoa, rinsed 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
3 cups unsweetened almond milk 3 cups unsweetened almond milk
1/2 tsp vanilla ½ tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp allspice ¼ tsp allspice
1/2 cup raisins ½ cup raisins
1 med green apple chopped small (save some for garnish) 1 med green apple chopped small (save some for garnish)
stevia to taste stevia to taste
1/2 cup raw walnuts, chopped ½ cup raw walnuts, chopped
4 tbsp raw sunflower seeds 4 tbsp raw sunflower seeds
1 cup fresh organic blueberries 1 cup fresh organic blueberries
optional – fresh raspberries, fresh strawberries, chopped pecans or almonds, hemp seeds optional - fresh raspberries, fresh strawberries, chopped pecans or almonds, hemp seeds

Combine quinoa, almond milk, cinnamon, allspice, raisins in medium sauce pan. Bring to a boil and then
place lid on pan and reduce to low heat. After 5 mins stir in chopped apple and simmer for approx 5 to 7 mins
longer. Stir and check for remaining liquid and if most is absorbed then remove from heat, leaving lid on pan and let rest for 5 mins to absorb rest of the milk. If when you peek, there is still lots of liquid, simmer for 3 to 5 mins. Let it rest for 5 mins. Taste for sweetness and adjust to your liking with 3 to 5 stevia drops or a dribble of agave syrup. You may not need any additional sweetener as the raisins and apple do add a nice sweetness that may be just perfect for you. Be cautious as even these natural sugars will spike your blood sugar levels and you want to minimize this. Top each serving with walnuts, sunflower seeds, blueberries and remaining chopped apple. If I have raspberries or strawberries on hand I like to toss them on top instead or as well!
