I don't really miss sweets like I thought I would as I dove head first into nutritarian eating. But I will never give up dessert altogether. Not when there are so many nutritious choices. One of my favorite quick desserts is my Quinoa Maple Pudding. I recently discovered quinoa flakes at the Grain Train food co-op. They cook in simmering water in only 90 seconds. Add a pinch of sea salt and a spoonful of pure maple syrup and you have a two minute dessert with low glycemic carbohydrates, high quality protein, fiber and minerals. The carb calories are there so I keep the portion small.
