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).
