I believe in the phrase 'Breakfast is the most important meal of the day'. I really do. A well-rounded breakfast can kick-start your energy level.
Small, round, and a good source of protein, iron, and fiber, quinoa is a quick and flavorful way to get in a serving of nutrients you need. Quinoa is considered a complete, whole food and the super grain! So why not have it for breakfast?
Quinoa Stir Fry bowl is a delicious and flavorful dish. This easy, toss together quinoa is fabulous hot from the pan. But it's also delicious when reheated! Make more than you think you'll need and you've got breakfast for the next day.
Vegetable-packed quinoa is hearty and healthy. Crunchy roasted lentil, fragrant curry leaves and spicy green chilies give a flavorful face-lift to the usual quinoa. Coriander powder adds to the dimension of flavor. Add extra protein to this dish by throwing in some black beans and scrambled egg.
