COCONUT QUINOA PUDDING
Quinoa is so versatile I've started eating it for dessert! Simmered with a bit of almond milk and brown sugar, the grains become tender and inviting, cozy and creamy. Rich coconut milk takes the whole thing to another level. Dressed up with a few crunchy extras, like toasted coconut and cocoa nibs, the simple dish turns into a satisfying dessert. And if you have any leftovers, it makes a pretty great breakfast, too. But what are the chances of that?

Steps:
- Combine the quinoa, almond milk, 1 1/4 cups of the coconut milk, brown sugar and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened and the quinoa is very tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer the pudding to a bowl, and refrigerate, covered, until cold.
- To serve, stir in some additional coconut milk for a creamy consistency. Top with cocoa nibs, almonds and toasted coconut. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use a fine-mesh sieve to strain the coconut milk. This will remove any lumps and create a smooth, creamy pudding.
- If you don't have a fine-mesh sieve, you can use a cheesecloth-lined colander. Just be sure to squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the coconut milk.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest flavor. Light coconut milk will work, but the pudding will be less creamy.
- Sweeten the pudding to your taste. You can use maple syrup, honey, or agave nectar.
- Add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness of the pudding.
- Top the pudding with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include fresh fruit, nuts, and seeds.
