Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of uncooked quinoa
  • 2 cups of water or broth
  • 2 cups of your choice of vegetables We recommend a combination of zucchini, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes
  • 1-2 cups of cooked protein Think lean grilled chicken, baked tofu, or seared shrimp
  • 2 scoops or sachets of unflavored collagen peptides
  • Olive oil salt, and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs and seeds for garnish Try parsley, thyme, chia seeds, or flaxseeds

Instructions
 

  • Begin by rinsing your quinoa under cool, running water. This rids it of its natural coating called saponin, which can give it a slightly bitter taste.
  • In a saucepan, bring your water or broth to the boil. Stir in the rinsed quinoa, then reduce the heat and let it simmer. Cover the pan and allow it to cook quietly for about 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed.
  • While the quinoa cooks, sauté your chosen vegetables in a splash of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, and add any other spices as desired. Remember, variety is the spice of life!
  • Add your cooked protein to the mix, stirring to mix everything in a savory symphony.
  • Once your quinoa is ready, cool it slightly before adding collagen peptides. Stir thoroughly so the peptides disappear into the quinoa, like a culinary magic trick.
  • Combine the collagen-infused quinoa with sautéed veggies and protein. Dress it with olive oil, season again if needed, and garland with your chosen herbs and seeds.

Notes

What is the secret to a perfectly tasty "Quinoa Bowl Infused with Collagen"? Try roasting your veggies for a depth of flavor, or swapping water with homemade broth for cooking quinoa. Always remember to add collagen peptides to slightly cooled quinoa to protect the integrity of the proteins. This dish is great for meal prep too, with all elements stored separately retaining freshness for days.
