Nice, simple recipe. I halved it and used raspberry-apple juice, which made it taste even better. I forgot to add the vanilla, which would have helped, but added some nutmeg and swapped the raisins for dried cranberries. I ate it with some hazelnut milk. Delicious--will make again.

Ok. This is my first time trying Quinoa (keen-wa) and I must say it was much better than I expected. I am trying to make healthier selections. I thought I would give this keen-waaaaaa a try. I heard Dr. Oz speak about it. Searched for it in Martins and couldnt find last year but found it this go around. I will say this is a great recipes and I will probably use this a replacement for my oatmeal every now and then. I can't wait to try some dinner recipes with this stuff. Thanks again.

Love it, love it, LOVE IT! This was exactly the taste I was looking for! Made some substitutions, but really, just about any dried fruit / nut combination would go well with this!

Nice! I used half orange juice and half soy milk in place of the apple juice, and dried cherries in place of the raisins. Tasted good both as a hot breakfast cereal and as a dessert.

I tried quinoa for the first time with this recipe a few weeks back, and have made it several times since! I took the helpful advice of the previous reviewers, omitting the lemon juice and using soy milk in place of the apple juice, and it's definitely a winner!

Yummy! I too, am new to quinoa, and enjoy the flexibility of this grain. I also made some adjustments to make it more low-glycemic friendly. I cooked the quinao in the water per the recipe, but then added unsweetened vanilla almond milk & cinnamon & simmered for 15 min. I then added 1 tsp. vanilla and 5 small packets of Stevia(adding Agave nectar would be great too!). To my bowl, I then added dried cranberries & walnuts! Next time, I might add Orange extract & peel! Great for breakfast or dessert! Thanks for the great recipe.

This was just okay. I thought it was too tart and the recipe came out very sticky and mushy. I won't make this again.

Substituted regular milk for apple juice and added a little Splenda to compensate for the loss of sweetness. Very good!

There is no need to cook this 15min/15min as the recipe states. I cooked it both as stated and also adding everything at once, minus the vanilla. I found no taste or texture difference. I thought it was too sweet when made with raisins and found the lemon out of place. However, made with sweetened dried cranberries the lemon worked, and the porridge was not too sweet.

I substituted almond milk for the apple juice and then sweetened with brown sugar. I had to cook the second stage with the lid off in order for this to get thickened up. I like it for a nice change; but my kids who love multi-grain oatmeal, did not like it at all.

Quinoa is one of my favorite foods... it's so versatile. I didn't have apple juice so I substituted orange juice. Also didn't have raisins so I substituted dried cranberries. I was spectacular! I think that I will try dried blueberries or cherries next time. Wonderful and versatile recipe.

GREAT RECIPE. I ALTERED IT TO BE A LITTLE LOWER ON THE GI SCALE. INSTEAD OF THE APPLE JUICE I DID WATER WITH AGAVE SYRUP. IT HAS BECOME A FAMILY FAVORITE!!!!!

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!
