Instructions
- Rinse quinoa in a fine mesh sieve until water runs clear, drain, and transfer to a medium pot.
- Add 4 cups water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil. (Tip: Add a scoop of plain Organixx Bone Broth Protein Powder for extra protein)
- Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until water is absorbed 15-20 minutes.
- Set aside for a minimum of 5 minutes.
- Chill 2 hours. (If you forget to chill quinoa, it’s ok, it’s just tastier when it’s cool)

- Let chill in fridge 1 hour before serving.
