Author Notes
Quinoa is a favorite of mine. This little sprout is supercharged with protein and is actually a complete protein, though most consider it grain. Mixed with kale and cucumber it is both light and packed with super powers. —Jeanette Bronée, Path for Life

3/4 cup
pre-cooked and chilled quinoa
