No need to feel guilty eating this dessert. Quinoa and blueberries, two superfoods, with some sweetness coming from the coconut cream and honey. Delicious.
Blueberries are easily my favourite fruit. They are great in a smoothie, a blueberry gin reduction, a quinoa salad, this creamy coconut concoction, and of course straight out of the box. Blueberries are a little expensive in Saigon, but at least we get regular imports from New Zealand and California.
While blueberries may be expensive to buy, you are doing your body a big favour by eating them regularly. Healthline does a good overview of the health benefits of blueberries. Keep those in mind as you enjoy the black quinoa and blueberry dessert.
