Fluffy Quinoa
From The Kitchen · a prep-ahead staple
A Set-the-Week staple — make once, eat all week.
Quinoa is one of those ingredients that quietly fits into almost everything. I love making a batch on Sunday to use throughout the week.

Gina's tip
Stir in fresh parsley before serving for a little extra freshness.
Coach's Note
Rinsing matters — it's the thirty seconds that keeps quinoa from tasting bitter. Small habits, better food.
I hope this recipe finds a place in your kitchen as it has in mine. Enjoy!
