Broccli and Cheese Quinoa

Here is a quick and easy go-to recipe for those night where you just don't have enough time, but still want to eat clean and healthy. Although this recipe does have cheese it is not much. If you are a vegan or just don't want to eat cheese, we suggest trying this with cauliflower sauce.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup rinsed organic quinoa

1/2 cup broccoli

1 1/2 cups of vegetable broth or water

1/4-1/2 grated sharp cheddar

salt and pepper to taste

In a medium sauce pan combine the quinoa and broccoli. Then add your liquid to the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Let them cook for about 12-14 minutes or until quinoa and broccoli are tender. Turn off the heat and stir in the cheese, it will melts with the warmth of the quinoa. Last add a little salt and pepper to taste.
So simple yet delicious!

Enjoy,
