Crispy Quinoa Bites

December 11, 2014 By Cherrie Leave a Comment

Without a doubt, quinoa has become a staple SUPERFOOD. And rightfully so, because it’s high in protein to keep you lean, has plenty of iron to keep your blood cells healthy, and it contains almost twice as much fiber as most other grains to help your body detox.

Often used as a substitute for rice, quinoa is also used in many salad recipes. But here’s a recipe with a new twist on this popular grain.

These Crispy Quinoa Bites make the perfect healthy appy alternative AND they are packed with so much flavour that you’ll be able to sneak in even more veggies to meet the recommended daily servings.
