Quinoa for Every Day
5 Unexpected Ways to Enjoy Quinoa
Quinoa is a superfood in more ways than one: Not only is it a gluten-free health-
booster packed with nutrients, it’s a delicious everyday grain (actually, the
edible seed of a grain) that can please anyone, from dedicated vegans to die-hard
carnivores. Here are just a few of the unexpected ways you’ll learn to enjoy
quinoa.
Blended in a smoothie: You can blend raw quinoa into a smoothie for a high-
protein, high-fiber snack or meal any time of the day. You’ll find a whole
chapter on quinoa smoothies in these pages, but the Frozen Super-Berry
Smoothie (here) is a great place to start.
As a movie night treat: Popped quinoa (here) makes a delicious and healthy
snack, perfect for movie night in place of popcorn. You can also sprinkle popped
quinoa on yogurt or oatmeal for texture and crunch.
In granola: Quinoa granola bars? Yes, please. Raw quinoa adds great texture to
granola. Take this combination one step further with Super-Powered Granola
Bars (here) and enjoy a high-protein snack great for a hike or a lazy day outside.
In dessert: Quinoa is a satisfying way to make your favorite desserts gluten-free.
Sweet treats and quinoa are a winning pair, and these amazing Double-Chocolate
Brownies (here) are a good place to start.
In sushi: Quinoa makes a satisfying and nutritious rice substitute, as evidenced
in these delicious Quinoa California Rolls (here).
