This dinner was so delicous! I’m not sure if it was because I was really hungry from a long day at school and then a tough workout or if it really was as good as I thought.
I got the idea from my new Oxygen magazine. It’s a very clean meal with tons of protein and whole grain carbs, plus it’s packed with veggies and fiber!!
Quinoa Fritatta (Idea from Oxygen Magazine)
- 1 c. cooked quinoa
- 1 c. or more fresh broccoli steamed or microwaved for a min.
- some leftover frozen artichokes and spinach
- 1/3 c. fat free feta
- salt and pepper
- 3/4 c. (estimated) egg whites
- Cook quinoa as directed.
- Heat veggies so they are not frozen and slightly tender.
- Mix egg whites, veggies, feta and seasoning together.
- Bake at 400 for 30 min. or until egg whites are cooked (I got impatient and put the dish in the microwave for the last two minutes to speed things up!
And a close up…
This meal was soo good! I think Brady would like it too! For him, I might add some chicken or bacon :). Another good modification would be adding salsa/avacado/cumin and going with the Mexican theme!
I’m already looking forward to my lunch leftovers tomorrow!!

Love Oxygen magazine recipes!!

Oh my gosh yum! I bet quinoa mixed with eggs is such an amazing combo. Great recipe.
Yum yum yum! I love this idea! I’m adding it to my list of many of yours that I must try!
What a great way to use quinoa!
It sounds like a healthier artichoke dip and I love it!
I heart the quinoa but usually just cook it as a side dish- boring! Love this recipe! Thanks for stopping by my blog. 🙂
I love it, “it’s a very clean meal.” I should assess all my meals & try to make them cleaner. 🙂
