Perfect Quinoa



Don't you just LOVE foods ...like quinoa... that are versatile, uber healthy, and also delicious? One cup of this nutty-flavored cooked seed has 8 grams of protein, 5 grams of fiber, 222 calories, and a whopping 442 mg of immune-boosting lysine! You'll also get 8 other essential amino acids and many vitamins and minerals [including folate, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, manganese, and zinc].

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup organic quinoa

  • 2 cups organic chicken bone broth, veggie broth or steaming water, or filtered water

  • 1/2 tsp sea salt


Instructions:

  1. Rinse the quinoa to remove saponin.

  2. In medium saucepan, bring liquid to a boil, add quinoa and salt, then cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.

  3. Remove from the heat and fluff.
