I really LOVE this recipe! I tried it tonight for the first time and made it exactly to the recipe. The one thing that keeps me from rating this a 5 is that, like everyone else, I think it is a bit on the tart side with all of the lemon juice. I'm gonna try the leftovers in the morning with rice milk mixed in. Thanks for the great recipe!

I thought this was excellent! I usually hate reviewing recipes when I have modified them - but I had to onit the apple and lemon juices, and used organic vanilla soy instead as my husband HATES apple juice. Otherwise I made as directed. It is good leftover as well. Thanks for sharing!

Did not care for this at all. Made as directed (no substitions - how can you rate a recipe when you really did not make THE recipe?) NO nutty flavor, not like a cereal, not really a pudding either.

A yummy change. The texture reminds me of Red River Cereal.

This was good, although too "lemony" for my taste. I'll make it again (with much less lemon juice) and add some brown sugar for a great breakfast.

This was tasty and it filled me up for hours. In fact, I think I like it more than oatmeal for breakfast. Used plain soy milk instead of juice.

Almost too sweet and a bit watery. I will try using natural applesauce instead of the apple juice next time.

This was really good. As others have said, it was tart, so I added soy milk and some maple syrup to sweeten it. I also always serve rice pudding cold with maple syrup on top, so that is what I did here. Again, the maple syrup counteracted the sour taste of the raisins and lemon juice. I did feel that there were too many raisins, so next time I will cut them by half. I will also try substituting soy milk for the apple juice and subbing 1/4 cup apple juice for the lemon juice.

Mmmmm!! I didn't have any apple juice, so I boiled a chopped apple in 1 1/3 cup water with a bit of sugar and cinnamon (then just used this liquid for the recipe). The apple pieces were really tasty in it!

Very tasty, although I also used soya milk like many of the suggestions. I love Quinoa & will make this again =) I have made this many times now. Sometimes I use orange juice instead of the apple juice and or soya milk. I also don't use the salt. I use this for a breakfast change from other hot cereals.

A funny looking apple, cinnamon, and vanilla scented gruel of quinoa and raisins. The flavor doesn't excite me. As for texture, one would be hard pressed to call it a pudding. Incidentally, salt "to taste" was for me a quarter teaspoon.

I really wanted to like this recipe, but there was just something missing. I think I expected it to be a bit creamier.

Quite nice! Not too sweet, and had a really interesting texture. This was my first time trying quinoa, and I'm very impressed. Will definitely make this again, perhaps with more cinnamon and vanilla for a more "comfort food" taste.

This is my first time trying quinoa... I rinsed it VERY well but wasn't all that keen on the taste... I did adjust the recipe to what I had on hand... used vanilla soy milk, omitted raisins but added chopped banana... so maybe that was the problem. I found it very bland and had to add a touch of brown sugar and honey. I'll experiment with quinoa again... but probably not with this recipe.

Maybe I got some bad quinoa or haven't come to appreciate it's flavor yet, but neither I,no anyone in my family enjoyed this recipe. I added some dried apples to this and thought it'd turn out nicely, but we just didn't like it.

OK, I am going to try this tomorrow for breakfast, but I wanted to say, quinoa has an acidic coating on it naturally. This must be rinsed off, or the quinoa will have a bitter taste. I suggesst soaking or rinsing the quinoa for about 15 minutes before using. If you soak the grain, then you can simply rinse well before cooking. I think this is probably the problem and not the apple juice.
