High in protein, iron, vitamins, and minerals, quinoa is a supergrain (actually a seed) that is gaining popularity and can easily take the place of rice in many common recipes. This quinoa pudding is made with bananas, milk, and vanilla. It is a great basic pudding recipe to take in whatever direction you choose.

This flavorful quinoa dish is a delicious and higher protein alternative to Spanish rice. This is a nice side dish to a Mexican meal, or it can be used as a filling in burritos. I like my food on the less-salty side, so you may have to adjust the seasonings to your taste.
