workout and delcious clean recipe!

Last night I made a delcious recipe that I found in pinterest.  I have been on a mission to find a tasty way to eat quinoa and I found it!  Quinoa is a good source of protein and fiber, which both are great at making one feel full.  That is important to me, but add to that the fact that it tastes great and it is definitely a winner!
