It\u2019s funny to think that healthy quinoa recipes were once a novel find on the internet. The formerly obscure-in-mainstream-American-cooking ingredient has become a food blogger regular\u2014not to mention a pantry staple for a lot of people. The dainty, delightfully fluffy, grain-like seed is versatile and fast-cooking, which makes it a pretty handy ingredient to have at your disposal for a busy weeknight.<\/p>\n

So what does a healthy quinoa<\/a> recipe look like? Well, quinoa itself is already packed with nutrition: It\u2019s rich in carbs and fiber, plus some protein. If you\u2019re planning to build a filling and nutritious meal around quinoa, you\u2019re off to a great start; you\u2019ll just want to round it out. Generally, a satisfying and enjoyable meal contains three or four food groups to provide a variety of nutrients and flavors, Rachael Hartley, RD, certified intuitive eating counselor and owner of Rachael Hartley Nutrition<\/a>, tells SELF. Quinoa\u2019s got the carbs covered, so you\u2019ll likely want to add some additional protein (eggs, lentils, beans, tofu, chicken), a fat (olive oil, nuts, butter, cheese), and, ideally, some kind of fruit or vegetable (broccoli, berries, squash, spinach).<\/p>\n

We sifted through the bajillion-and-one tasty quinoa recipes out there and rounded up 33 fantastic ones for you to try out. (A lot of these recipes\u2014salads, skillets, stir-fries\u2014are well-balanced meals in themselves. Some you\u2019d want to serve as a side or bulk up for a meal.) Happy quinoa cooking!<\/p>\n

A quick note about the word<\/em> healthy here: We know that healthy is a complicated concept<\/a>. Not only can it mean different things to different people, it\u2019s a word that\u2019s pretty loaded (and sometimes fraught), thanks to the diet industry<\/a>\u2019s influence on the way we think about food<\/a>. At SELF, when we talk about food being healthy, we\u2019re primarily talking about foods that are nutritious, filling, and satisfying. But it also depends on your preferences, your culture, what\u2019s accessible<\/a> to you, and so much more. We selected these recipes with those basic criteria in mind, while also trying to appeal to a wide variety of nutritional needs and taste buds.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
