Fit Ingredients
1 c (168g) quinoa, rinsed
1/2 c baking stevia (or dry sweetener of choice)
2 tbs ground cinnamon (more or less to taste)
1 tbs ground ginger (fresh would be nice too, but I didn’t have any)

1 – 13.5oz can light coconut milk (or more almond milk)
2 tbs fresh lemon juice
1-2 medium pears, diced

Directions
1. Combine your quinoa, almond milk, coconut milk, lemon juice and stevia in your slow cooker.
2. Set to low heat and cook for 1.5 hours, whisking every 30 minutes or so.
3. Add in your cinnamon, ginger and diced pear.
4. Cook an additional 30-45 minutes or until desired thickness.*
5. Top with greek yogurt, if desired.
*If you like your pudding a bit looser you can cook 30 minutes, if you like it thicker, like I do, then 45 minutes would be best!
