🍲 Ingredients
Quinoa – Quinoa packs 8 grams of protein per cup and is such a healthy grain to add to salads or use as a base in a recipe. It is loaded with nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants and is great for your body. Lentils – For this recipe, I used yellow lentils which are low in calories but high in iron, folate, and protein. They are a great plant-based protein source and versatile to add to salads, stews, or soups.
