If you like a good old fashioned Baked Rice Pudding, then you will love this. 

It’s not often you find a high protein, low sugar dessert that’s easy to make and yum to eat. 

The original recipe is from chef Michael Moore’s cookbook, Quinoa and Healthy Living, which was a part of his Blood Sugar cookbook series. A talented chef who was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes in his 30’s, followed by a stroke in his 40’s, he is now helping educate people in how to eat well to manage diabetes and overall good health.

There’s something quite lovely about enjoying a warm dessert in winter time and knowing it’s not too bad for you after all.
