Quinoa is one of the few complete proteins, so if you're vegan or gluten-free, you probably already know how fantastic it is (meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids). In addition to being a protein powerhouse, quinoa also absorbs a wide range of tastes and gives some of our favourite vegetarian dishes, like our vegan taco salad and the veggie burger for meat lovers, a fantastic texture.
In fact, quinoa is a superfood that functions like a grain but is actually a seed. Quinoa is our preferred protein-rich ingredient for any recipe because it works well in salads, burgers, and casseroles. Quinoa may appear to be an overly trendy ingredient that doesn't even taste good, but when prepared properly, it can be a delicious way to switch up your usual carbohydrate intake. It is more adaptable than rice, even simpler to prepare, and gluten-free. Being able to quickly prepare a meal like quinoa fried rice is never too far away when you have cooked quinoa on hand.
Quinoa Salad
We don't think salads should be monotonous. This one has a lot of vitality thanks to the crunchy apples and sour fruits. It's simple to create the somewhat sweet and lemony dressing, and you'll want to have extra on hand to drizzle over everything. To make it heartier, feel free to add extra protein. Alternatively, you can eat it as is for a quick dinner.We don't think salads should be monotonous. This one has a lot of vitality thanks to the crunchy apples and sour fruits.

Quinoa Soup
Quinoa gives this full soup its robust texture, and you can also add white beans, carrots, and celery. We enjoy topping this off with some fresh cheese, toasted bread, and other nutritious toppings.
Chili Cheesy Stuffed Peppers
For various reasons, including their simplicity, versatility, and overall satisfaction, stuffed peppers are a classic. Chili fits the bill for what you could say. A better classic still? merge the two. These filled peppers are a hit with everyone since they contain quinoa, some cheese and all your favourites.
Quinoa Fried Rice
Simply substituting quinoa for rice doubles the amount of protein in this healthier version of traditional fried rice. Everything pairs beautifully with quinoa fried rice; paneer, peas, carrots and tofu would also be delicious!
Quinoa-Stuffed Avocados
You will (quite literally) be eating the entire rainbow with all those vegetables crammed within a thick, creamy avocado. Serve this alongside avocado soup to enhance the avocado intake.
Although quinoa has the reputation of being an unappealingly trendy grain (or, seed) that doesn't even taste good, when prepared properly, it may be a delicious way to switch up your usual carbohydrate intake. It is gluten-free, more adaptable, and even simpler to prepare than rice. You may make quinoa using the straightforward 2:1 ratio while you sleep. That simple!
