I really enjoy quinoa but this was too bland and not sweet enough for my tastes. Maybe a differnt variety of fruits would help?

This is really good. I did tweak it a bit. I added about a tsp. Of brown sugar, 1T dried cranberries and a T. Of raisins (however, I was only making 1/2 recipe since I was cooking for 2) , also 1/2 tsp. vanilla. I served it with a Tablespoon or 2 of fat free vanilla Greek yogurt. My husband gave it 5 stars!!

This is very good. I added one tablespoon of sweetener to the quinoa and we used maple syrup over the top. We like oatmeal better, but this is a nice change.
