80 Quinoa Recipes

80 Quinoa Recipes — breakfast, vegetarian, salads, soups and even desserts! You could eat quinoa all day, every day. If you wanted to.

 

Some may call it a fad food like kale, but it’s a delicious and healthy staple in our pantry. (So is kale, for that matter.) We eat it often. Soups, salads, and all the usual places you’d find quinoa. But our favorite are quinoa pancakes. They’re the best — and a protein packed breakfast. I try to always have cooked quinoa in the freezer on hand for some quick meals. Enjoy this list! What is your favorite use for quinoa?
