I love rice pudding and oatmeal, and this delicious Coconut Quinoa Pudding Breakfast Bowl is a great alternative that doesn't use your allowance.
Quinoa is also high in protein so will keep you fuller for longer. This rice pudding is delicious and creamy and is great served as a dessert or even for breakfast.
Using a non-dairy milk makes this Coconut Quinoa Pudding Breakfast Bowl a perfect recipe for vegans. I love the nutty flavour of quinoa, it makes a delicious side to savoury dishes in place of regular rice or pasta.

This was nice I used almond milk which made it a bit too nutty. Will try it with regular milk I think. I used to use a lovely mushroom and parmesan quinoa risotto recipe but can't find it. Maybe you could invent us one?
Shelie says
This was lovely with a drizzle of maple syrup or teaspoon of Nutella for little ones. I had empty plates from my 4 and 10 year old
Nil says
Could you cook with milk and coconut milk in one go (rather than separately) and store the unused portions in the fridge for 2-3 days? I'm thinking of saving time in the mornings.
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
I definitely wouldn't recommend doing that as it will be quite dry. The milk added when serving looses up the quinoa pudding.
Yvonne Boyes says
Hi I was told by team leader that I would have to syn this as it was classed as a tweet if I had it for breakfast. Is this right? I had it every morning and loved it but unsure now. What your take on this? Thanks. Yvonne
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
That is totally incorrect. I had this checked with Slimming World before, eating it this way is no different to having it as a savoury meal. The only different being that once cooked you adding some milk and fresh berries as a breakfast. It is a healthy balanced meal (breakfast). Hope that helps 🙂
Jo says
Just wondered could I make the breakfast bowl using microwave? If I made the Quinoa on hob then added milk and sweetener and warmed in microwave? Just wondering if could take to work on morning as don't have access to hob?
Siobhan (Slimming Eats) says
Yes this can be warmed up in a microwave. Enjoy!
