20 Unexpected Quinoa Recipes That Are Easy to Make

You probably know quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) as a good plant-based source of protein, but did you know that a cup has more iron than a six-ounce steak?

Even better is the fact that it’s a gluten-free seed that cooks up like a grain. That means it has a highly adaptable flavor and can be enjoyed in countless combinations, and can be ground to make flour, used to replace rice in any dish, or turned into a casserole like pasta.

These 20 unique recipes showcase how versatile and delicious quinoa really is, giving you delicious choices for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Enjoy!

Apricot Vanilla Quinoa Protein Bars

Serves 12

Most trail mix-style snacks bars are made with flour and oats. If you use quinoa instead, you can make a gluten-free protein bar that’s every bit as sweet and chewy.

And as with many recipes for baked goods, this one is easy to adjust by changing the types of nuts, seeds, and dried fruit. For example, you could make a peanut butter bar with tart cherries, sesame seeds, and a dark chocolate drizzle.

Chicken Quinoa Burrito Bowls

Serves 2

Can’t get enough Mexican food? You may as well mix it up every once in a while by using quinoa instead of rice.

Although they have similar calorie density, quinoa has nearly twice as much protein per serving. It also has more fiber, riboflavin, folate, and iron as compared to brown rice. Knowing all that, it’s no wonder that quinoa is fast becoming a pantry staple.

Strawberry Quinoa Pancakes

Serves 6 / Makes 18

With quinoa in addition to flour, milk, and eggs, these pancakes are sure to power you through the day.

And the recipe includes a maple syrup topping alternative: from-scratch strawberry sauce. It only takes about 10 minutes on the stove to cook down fresh strawberries and a kiss of vanilla extract into a naturally sweet syrup. It also includes just enough maple syrup so you’re not missing out.

Jalapeno Bacon Quinoa Mac & Cheese

Serves 6

How can you have mac and cheese without any macaroni?

This recipe uses quinoa instead of pasta to deliver all the goodness of this classic comfort dish – bacon included. Aside from the single replacement, there’s not much to set this recipe apart from spicy mac and cheese. The ingredients are first cooked on the stove, and transferred to the oven until the top is browned.

High-Protein Vanilla Pudding

Serves 1

Like rice pudding, you can use quinoa pudding as a protein delivery system. And amazingly, this one doesn’t even rely on protein powder!

Instead, it uses a winning combo of quinoa, chia seeds, and hemp hearts. The resulting quinoa pudding is delicious enough to enjoy as dessert, but nutrient-dense enough to have as a wholesome breakfast. Want to cut over 100 calories and 25 grams of sugar? Simply use stevia in place of maple syrup.

No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Quinoa Cookies

This dough will come together quickly on the stove, especially if you have leftover cooked quinoa in the fridge. After an hour in the freezer, these healthy cookies – with just 4 grams of sugar apiece – will be ready to eat.

It has everything you love about marinara, including garlic, basil, parsley, and oregano. To complete the picture, this is garnished with cheese, but for a dairy-free alternative, you can sprinkle with a little nutritional yeast, commonly used as a vegan substitute for cheesy goodness.

Guacamole Quinoa

Serves 4

If you’re a guacamole addict, you might wind up eating way more than a day’s serving of avocados. With this twist on the creamy dip, you can eat more of the creamy dip-turned-side dish while getting a little more variation in your diet.

Not only are you benefiting from the healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals in avocados, but the superfruit is said to act as a nutrition booster, helping your body absorb more of the nutrients in quinoa.

Quinoa Buckwheat Date Cereal

Serves 10 / Makes 3 1/2 cups

Quinoa cereal has become popular since people have started looking for alternatives to wheat and corn-based products. However, the homemade versions usually call for quinoa flakes, which can be hard to find in the grocery store.

Edamame Quinoa Salad

Serves 16

For a salad that’s light on your stomach but not on nutrients, quinoa makes an excellent base. And in this case, it becomes a way to dish up a whole spoonful of superfoods at once. There’s edamame, almonds, chickpeas, corn, and cranberries.

With so much in the salad itself, the only dressing it needs is a mix of olive oil and lime juice.

Broccoli Quinoa Quesadillas

Serves 4

Quesadillas might seem like a guilty pleasure, but that doesn’t have to be the case. Replace some of the cheesy filling with superfoods like broccoli and quinoa, and suddenly quesadillas look like more than a quick dinner.

You can make a quesadilla in the microwave or toaster oven, but it’ll get perfectly crispy if you take a minute to heat up some olive oil in a skillet. It only takes a few minutes on each side to cook, melting the cheese.

Curried Quinoa & Sweet Potato Pilaf

Serves 6

Quinoa pilaf might sound plain, but with curry powder, cumin, and currants, this is anything but. As if that’s not enough flavor, there’s also sweet potato and crisp green apples. You can serve this as a side dish for meat, but it’s satisfying enough to serve as an entrée.

As long as you aren’t concerned about the carbs, you can double the portion. Or, consider serving with a simple green salad.

Mediterranean Quinoa Soup

Serves 4

Mediterranean soup might call to mind olives, tomatoes, and basil, but this recipe takes things in a completely different direction.

Like many soups, this one starts by sautéing onion, garlic, and carrots. After the quinoa toasts for half a minute, vegetable broth and garbanzo beans are mixed in, and the soup is left to boil until everything is cooked through. Fresh spinach and lemon juice are added immediately before serving.

Quinoa Hawaiian Pizza Stuffed Peppers

Serves 4

Using a healthy package like a bell pepper doesn’t make a dish healthy. This filling includes all the things you want – protein, complex carbs, and a little cheese – and nothing that’ll put this over the top of your macro targets.

These Hawaiian stuffed peppers are big enough to be served as lunch or dinner, but of course they’re even better next to a slab of meat.

Smoky Beet Quinoa Burgers

Serves 8

It’s hard to get the texture right on a veggie burger. Beans can get too mushy to replace meat. Tofu doesn’t come close to being like a burger. Wheat-based seitan is great because it can be made to have a variety of textures, but it’s tricky to prepare. Plus, all of the protein is from gluten.

Then there’s quinoa, which gives you something to bite into and just enough softness to stand in for juicy ground beef.

Two in one, this recipe is a grain salad mixed with a leafy green salad.

The result is a whole bowl of superfoods like kale, quinoa, corn, and black beans.

It’s got a kick of hot sauce tempered by a spoonful of maple syrup and a splash of lime juice.

Spring Quinoa Risotto

Serves 4

Why make risotto without Arborio rice? Quinoa won’t be as creamy because it doesn’t release starch throughout in the same way throughout the cooking process, but the resulting riff on risotto is equally delicious.

Red Quinoa Tabbouleh with Labne

Serves 4

Tabbouleh may sound new to you, but it’s a traditional Middle Eastern dish that likely dates back several millennia to before the Ottoman Empire. Since then, it has spread throughout the Mediterranean and been adapted in a wide variety of ways.

It’s usually made with bulgar, but it’s just as easy to make it with quinoa. And although tomatoes are thought of as standard now, the plant didn’t arrive in the region until the 1800s. Switching out one red fruit for another – pomegranate – is actually more authentic.

What if I told you that just about everything magazines and trainers “teach” you about dieting is wrong?

What if you could build muscle and lose fat eating “naughty” foods every week?

What if you didn’t have to suffer through low-carb dieting to get lean? In fact, what if you could eat all the carbs you wanted?

And what if you didn’t have to gorge yourself just to gain muscle and didn’t have to put on pounds and pounds of ugly fat, either?

In short, what if I told you that proper dieting--whether you want to maximize fat loss or muscle growth--is much simpler and more enjoyable than you’ve been led to believe?

Imagine eating delicious, filling meals every day...never feeling starved or stuffed...having great energy levels and workouts...and watching your body respond exactly as you desire, dropping fat or adding muscle each and every week.

And imagine finally understanding how proper dieting really works, never again falling for the BS, tricks, and gimmicks pushed by “gurus” and other shysters.

Well, I have good news.

All these “fantasies” can be a reality...if you know how to do a handful of “little” things correctly.

You see, when you know how to diet properly--and this doesn’t mean learning to eat boiled chicken and raw broccoli six times per day--getting lean and muscular becomes simple, convenient, and dare I say...enjoyable.

And this book will show you the way.

That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.
