You can make What with Quinoa?!

Since Food $ense introduced me a few months back to this fantastic grain, I have fallen even more in love with it and the amazing things you can make with it.

You can eat it for breakfast!
Try Food $ense's own Banana Walnut Pudding, this Mediterranean Breakfast Quinoa, or Blueberry with Lemon Breakfast Quinoa.

You can eat it for lunch.
You can use it in salads and soups, or substitute it for other grains like in this Quinoa Tabbouleh. Try it as a substitute for pasta in your favorite pasta salad recipe - Why not!? Quinoa can do anything.


Use it for making dinner!

But don't just use it as a side dish instead of rice, make it into into you main dish - try this amazing Turkey and Quinoa meatloaf or Quinoa and Black Bean Burgers.

You can bake with quinoa two ways, you can cook it and add it to your baked goods like our Pumpkin Quinoa muffins or you can grind the seeds into a flour and use it as you would a whole wheat flour.

You can use it for Dessert!

What is not to love about a grain that can do all these amazing things and is fantastic for you! Quinoa is a super source of plant protein, it has B vitamins, iron, phosphorus and calcium.
