Quinoa Pesto bowls

A comforting nutritious meal that is full of flavour.

Our Quinoa Pesto bowls feature a few of our favourite powerhouse ingredients.

There’s quinoa, a superhero “grain” that isn’t really a grain. It contains all the essential amino acids making it a complete protein. It is also gluten free, high in fibre and rich in other vitamins & minerals.

We’ve also chucked in some kale. The “queen of the greens” kale is high in fibre and has zero fat. It is also high in iron, vitamin K, A, C, calcium & antioxidants.

For some crunch and flavour we have also added in the almighty walnut. Walnuts, the nuts that look like brains, are packed full of vitamins & minerals. They are a rich source of healthy fats and contain very little unhealthy saturated fats. Walnuts are one of the very few sources of plant based omega-3 fats. Read more here.
