Ingredients

3/4 cup quinoa
1 1/2 cups water
4 dates, pitted
1 1/2 cups unsweetened soy, hemp or almond milk
1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 (10 ounce) package frozen mango or 2 fresh mangoes, peeled and diced
2 tablespoons Dr. Fuhrman's Red Raspberry or Passion Fruit Vinegar or other fruit-flavored vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped raw almonds or macadamia nuts
2 tablespoons unhulled sesame seeds
1 cup packed chopped kale
1 cup packed chopped spinach
1/4 cup dried currants
3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Rinse quinoa and drain in a fine-mesh sieve.

In a large saucepan, bring quinoa and water to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until grains are translucent and the mixture is the consistency of a thick porridge, about 20 minutes.

In a high-powered blender, blend dates, non-dairy milk, vanilla, cinnamon, half the mangoes and Passion Fruit vinegar.

In a large bowl, combine cooked quinoa, blended date mixture, nuts, seeds, kale, spinach, the remaining diced mango and the currants. Pour into a lightly-oiled baking pan, sprinkle with coconut and bake for 30-40 minutes.

Best made a day ahead and refrigerated.

Note: A 9x9 inch pan works well for 5 servings.

Loved this.  Made per recipe using macadamia nuts.  LOVE that it has greens in it. For non-Nutritarian,  they will not know that they eating greens!  Very filling and tasty.   Can eat cold or warm up.  My husband liked it warm, I liked it either way.  The crunch of the macadamia nut with the tang of mangos is very good.  Making the night before is great, as will be easy to pull out for guests.  Winner!

Delicious dish! I would use a little less water when preparing the quinoa - but I had no problem with the outcome at all. This dish is crisp and bright; it tastes great and the crunchy texture is perfect: Initially I thought about mixing all the coconut into the pudding but followed the recipe and I'm glad that I did ... the toasted coconut topping was wonderful. My husband and I really enjoyed this for breakfast today. It's a variation of the Delicious and Nutritious Quinoa Pudding recipe (Gogi berries, almonds and walnuts are used). Very satisfying. I will make this a lot and rotate with the other quinoa puddings ... I'm a bit curious to see what guests will think ... It's also a different kind of dish. Thank you!

NEED TO UPDATE RECIPE
The ratios when followed as written above are way off. This recipe would work and be very good if you follow the cooking instructions on your quinoa. The correct ratio is 1c quinoa to 2 c water. So when following the recipe as listed you can cook for triple the time and still end up with about a cup-and-a-half of water in your pan and basically a hot, soupy mess. I strained it and mixed into steel cut oats and it was great so the potential is there! Need to try again following quinoa ratios I listed. All that being said, the flavors are good and it is simple.

This pudding takes a lot longer than 15 minutes to prepare. I'd double that, and the cooking time. After 40 minutes it was slop, after 60 it was still sloppy, but a much better texture, and the extra cooking time brought out the flavour more too, which was definitely an improvement. But of course by that time it was well and truly brunch, not breakfast!

It's a healthy ingredient to get an intense flavor. It can be eliminated but the flavors may be more subtle. Sometimes a pomegranate juice or something similar could be used in place of the suggested vinegars.

Why vinegar? I see a lot of recipes asking for vinegar or lemon juice. Can it be eliminated? I think that it replaces salt. Any comments would be appreciated. My husband has gastritis and cannot tolerate citrus or vinegar. Help!
