Meatless Monday Grocery List: Rainbow Quinoa

This week's Meatless Monday Healthy Eating Challenge will challenge you to try quinoa. Quinoa is all the trendy rage right now, but it couldn't be more ancient. Everything old is new again.

This week's recipe: Rainbow Quinoa



I love this recipe for all it's vibrant flavors: fresh ginger, juicy mango and orange juice, citrus-y cilantro and bell pepper combine for a little rainbow on your palate.

Ready to give quinoa a try? Great! Here's the grocery list:

Produce:
2 navel oranges
1 thumb-size piece fresh ginger
1 small or medium red bell pepper
1 small or medium yellow bell pepper
2 mangoes
1 red onion
1 bunch cilantro

Grocery:
1 cup quinoa
1/2 cup rice or apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 - 15 oz can black beans

Enjoy!

Life is sweet,
SPC

Hi, love your blog! Quick question, is the 1 cup quinoa measured before or after it's cooked? Also do you have any tips on cooking quinoa? It's been a long time since I've tried cooking it, and I seem to remember my last batch bring pretty meh. This recipe sounds great, though!

My husband and I have been having lots of problems living together, he never gives me attention or makes me happy because he has fallen in love with another woman outside our marriage. I tried my best to make sure that my husband leaves this woman but the more I talk to him about it the more he makes me feel sad and unhappy, My marriage started leading to divorce because he no longer gives me attention. I wanted to forget him but i love him and didn't want to lose him. We have been married for years and he is all I could call a true best friend and best in all, the man that handles my problems perfectly, the man that makes sacrifices for ,my happiness. I wanted him back in my life badly and I was so confused. My Friends told me to buy books about relationships, so I went online for relationship books while I came across a spell caster called Dr Emu. I read testimonies and reviews about him so I contacted him immediately, explained my problems to him. Same day , he casted a spell for me and assured me for 2 days that my husband will return to me and to my greatest surprise the third day my husband came knocking on my door and begged for forgiveness. I am so happy that my love is back again and not only that, we are about to get married again, he proposed. I wouldn't stop talking about him. Contact him today if you need his help via email: emutemple@gmail.com and you will see that your problem will be solved without any delay. Website: https://emutemple.wordpress.com/
