August is Kids Eat Right Month and it’s also children’s eye health month. This recipe is packed with nutrients to support eye health. Our favorite whole grain is quinoa because it smells so good when it’s cooking.
It’s a complete protein (contains lysine, an amino acid missing in most grains), and is a good source of riboflavin, vitamin E, iron, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper and fiber (which most people don’t get enough of!).
Quinoa is so fun and versatile to cook with as you creatively mix and match seasonal vegetables and taste preferences with this nutrient-packed base that the whole family will enjoy. Move over rice, we’re all about quinoa — try it, you’ll love it! Serve this yummy recipe warm or cold.
