Quinoa is one of nature’s most nourishing superfoods. This ancient grain is a nutrient dense, gluten-free alternative to grains. Our sprouted quinoa is not only incredibly nourishing, but it’s also made SO much easier to digest, thanks to our sprouting process. This means improved digestibility AND greater absorption of nutrients. Quinoa is also an amazing source of plant protein, which makes it a wonderful addition to any salad. Our sprouted quinoa superfood salad will be a hit this summer at ANY BBQ. Combined with the sweetness of mango and roasted peppers, plus the creaminess of avocado, this salad is both delicious and nutritious. Perfect for not only a weekend get together but also as part of your weekly meal prep!

While the peppers are roasting, it’s time to prepare your quinoa and your dressing!
