Red Quinoa for breakfast

I cooked Red Quinoa two days ago and have been reheating a cup of it in the microwave for breakfast. Just adding a little olive oil, salt and pepper makes for a very satisfying savory breakfast. Red Quinoa is sweeter than white, and has a delicate nutty flavor.

1 serving gives you:
170 calories (20 calories from fat)
6g protein
20% of the daily fiber you need
20% of the daily magnesium you need

That's pretty good!
