🌾 Quinoa Recipes
Quinoa is the only grain that is a complete protein — containing all 9 essential amino acids. A cup of cooked quinoa delivers 8 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, making it the best grain for protein bowls, salads and meal prep.

Quinoa bowl formula
The perfect quinoa bowl: a cup of cooked quinoa, 150 grams of protein, two vegetables, a sauce. Greek chicken quinoa bowls. Salmon quinoa bowls with avocado. Tofu and vegetable quinoa bowls with tahini. Quinoa is the ideal bowl base because it adds protein and fiber that white rice cannot match.
How to cook quinoa perfectly
Rinse quinoa under cold water for 30 seconds to remove the bitter coating. Use a 1:2 ratio of quinoa to water. Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Fluff with a fork. For extra flavor, cook in chicken or vegetable broth instead of water. One batch makes enough for 4 to 5 meals.
