Quinoa is a versatile and healthy grain – making it a great choice for any meal!  Known by the ancient Incas for increasing stamina of warriors, this can now be applied to the race track.  Quinoa is a complete protein and cooks up in just 20 minutes.

Breakfast is great with quinoa as porridge, baked into protein bars, muffins or pancakes.  Lunch can include whole grain salads, soups or a veggie burger with quinoa as a base.  Dinner can use it as a side to go along with stir-fried vegetables, in a radicchio or lettuce wrap, as a pilaf and so much more!

Here are a few recipes to try out using this multi-talented (and delicious) grain.
