Healthy dessert time! I love this recipe for quinoa pudding because it's healthier and has great texture and flavors. Think rice pudding only with a nice crunch. Plus, all the nutrition that quinoa packs. Tasty and Healthy - Win Win!
If you don't have dried mango slices, go ahead and use any dried fruit you want. Another favorite is dried apricots. Enjoy!
