Quinoa Veggie "Fried Rice"

Quinoa. 
A superfood.
High in protein, a good source of fiber, magnesium, and iron. Also, it it a good source of calcium!

Getting in your fruits and vegetables everyday is so important. You need to feed your body with the right fuel to make it run.

I often find that those who have a hard time eating a ton of vegetables really like stir-frys. It gives you the opportunity to customize the vegetables (and meat if you chose).

Let's get started!!

2 Tbs EVOO, divided
2 eggs, beaten
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 small onion, diced
2 cups cooked quinoa
1 Tbs freshly grated ginger
3 Tbs soy sauce
2 scallions
2-3 cups of your choice of vegetables (I used Organic broccoli, carrots, cauliflower & zucchini)

Heat 1 Tbs oil in a large skillet over low heat.
Add the eggs and scramble. Set aside.

Heat remaining Tbs of oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring constantly, for about 5 minutes.

Add vegetables and cook until tender, about 4-5 minutes.



 Add cooked quinoa and stir until heated through.
Add ginger and soy sauce. Toss to combine and cook until heated through.


Stir in scallions and eggs.
