Tipps

Use Fresh Blueberries

Fresh fruits are generally lower in histamine than dried or canned varieties, so use fresh blueberries whenever possible. If blueberries aren't in season, frozen blueberries are a good option.

Rinse Quinoa Thoroughly

Before cooking, rinse quinoa well under cold water. This removes its natural coating, called saponin, which can have a bitter flavor.

Storage and Reheating

Store leftover pudding in the fridge in an airtight container. When ready to enjoy again, warm gently in the microwave and add a little more almond milk if needed.

Variation in Sweetness

Adjust the maple syrup to your preferred level of sweetness. You may need less if you prefer slightly less sweet desserts or more if you have a sweet tooth.
