Do you have to rinse quinoa?
Yes, it would be best if you rinsed quinoa before every time you cook it. Rinsing quinoa removes quinoa’s natural coating, which can make it taste not very pleasant.

Quinoa: The star ingredient! Use cooked quinoa.
Almond milk: We’ve used almond milk, but you can replace it with any milk of your choice.
Vanilla Extract: To add extra flavor.
Cocoa powder: To add chocolate flavor.
Maple Syrup: To sweeten.
Fruit: We’ve used bananas and blackberries. If you want, you can replace any of these fruits with others you prefer.
Dry Fruits: To garnish. We’ve used almonds but feel free to use your favorite.
How to make this recipe

Tips for making this recipe
