Advice

Quinoa bowls are a great way to get creative with mealtime and enjoy a delicious and nutritious meal. When making quinoa bowls, it's important to start with cooked quinoa. This is the base of the bowl and it is important to cook it correctly. To make cooked quinoa, combine 1 part quinoa with 2 parts liquid in a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Once the quinoa is cooked, it's time to build your bowl. Start with a layer of cooked quinoa, and then add other ingredients like cooked proteins, roasted veggies, and a variety of sauces and dressings. Finally, top with fresh herbs and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds for crunch. Enjoy your delicious quinoa bowl!
