1 cup quinoa

2 cups boiling water

1/2 cup dried cranberries or blueberries

1/2 cup dried cherries

1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice

1 tsp vanilla

2 bananas

Rinse quinoa thoroughly in cold water and add to boiling water. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer slowly for 7 minutes.

Add dried fruit and continue simmering, covered, for about 5 to 7 additional minutes, until all liquid is absorbed.

Combine remaining ingredients in food processor and puree until smooth while quinoa is cooking.

Remove quinoa from heat and combine with pureed mixture, mixing well.

Pudding can be refrigerated until ready to serve. Serves 6.
