Combine quinoa and rice milk in a medium saucepan. Bring to a slow simmer, then cover and cook for about 15 minutes until the quinoa is tender.
Stir in raisins, chopped apricots (1 cup (243 grams) canned works, too), and vanilla, and then transfer about 1 1/2 cups (263 grams) to a blender and purée. Return pureed mixture to the pan and stir to mix. Serve warm or chilled. Add berries or peaches, if desired.
