Easy gluten free protein rich meal ready in 25 minutes.

This One Dish Mexican Quinoa recipe is an easy weekend meal, put all of the ingredients into one frying pan or Thermomix and wait 20 minutes!

Easy gluten free protein rich meal ready in 25 minutes.

My youngest daughter doesn’t eat much meat so I have to make sure she gets a complete form of protein from vegetarian meals.

Complete Vegetarian Proteins
  • Quinoa
  • Hemp
  • Buckwheat
  • Amaranth
  • Algae Spirulina & Chlorella good in smoothie recipes Avocado Spinach Smoothie
  • Soy products such as beans, milk, tofu and tempeh
Incomplete Vegetarian Proteins

If using incomplete protein foods such as whole grains/ nuts, seeds/ and legumes, you need to combine two foods from the three groups to make a complete protein.
