Are you a fan of peas? I have to say that this is probably the vegetable that I eat the least of but it is jam packed with protein with 8 grams in a cup! Plus it’s a great source of fiber, manganese, vitamin C and Vitamin K. Combining these little guys with some quinoa would be a great way to bulk up your protein and go meatless for a meal.

Let’s throw together a little vegetable medley.

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup uncooked quinoa
• 2 tbsp EVOO
• 1 tbsp garlic minced
• 1 tbsp ginger minced
• 2 handfuls of mushrooms
• 2 handfuls of broccoli
• 2 carrots sliced
• 1 cup of peas
• 2-3 eggs (optional)
• 4 tbsp of reduced sodium soy sauce

Instructions:

1. Cook quinoa according to instructions – then set aside once cooked
2. In a large pan heat EVOO on medium low heat, then saute garlic and ginger until fragrant
3. Add mushrooms, broccoli and carrots – stir until tender
4. Add peas and stir together until well mixed
5. Add the quinoa and mix with the vegetables – then create a space in the middle of the pan and add the eggs
6. Scramble
7. Once the egg is cooked, stir in with the rest of the dish
8. Add the soy sauce and give a final stir

Serve
