Recipe - Quinoa with Vegetables
Quinoa is an amazing superfood which has completely replaced rice for me. Quinoa is one of the most protein-rich foods we can eat, containing all nine essential amino acids and it contains almost twice as much fiber as most other grains. It is a great alternative for rice and my kids love it.
