You guys won’t believe this recipe that’s been going around! My friend’s trainer gave it to her for her high-protein diet and I’m hooked!
It’s an absolutely perfect snack topped with avocado, (more high-protein) Greek-style yogurt, a little sour cream or mustard and a few slices of lean ham… whatever you like!
The best part: my kids love this, too, and I’m always looking for high-protein snacks for them.
I make this using everything bagel seasoning, but you can use whatever seasoning you like. I think savory will work better than sweet, but this is so easy to whip up, you should definitely experiment.
ONE-INGREDIENT, HIGH-PROTEIN QUINOA BREAD
1 cup quinoa (I normally use red quinoa, but white should work too)
1 cup water
Spices of choice (if you can find it, Everything Bagel seasoning is a great first place to start b/c it’s an easy way to add MEGA flavor; available at Trader Joe’s)
1. Add the quinoa and water to a bowl and stir to make sure that the quinoa is well covered. Allow it to soak overnight (to sprout; this will help you digest the bread/nutrients better).
2. The next day, preheat oven to 450 degrees. If there is a whole lot of excess water, strain the quinoa if neccessary, but there usually isn’t too much. Add the soaked quinoa (and any little bit of remaining water) to a food processor along with spices of choice and whizz for one minute. Pause, scrape down the sides, and whizz 30 more seconds (for a total of about 1 minute 30 seconds in all). WATCH THE VIDEO FOR A VISUAL CUE OF WHAT THE MIXTURE SHOULD LOOK LIKE AT THIS POINT.
3. Transfer quinoa to a parchment lined baking sheet that’s been lightly sprayed with oil and press down so that it’s about an even 1/8″ thick. Top with additional spices, if desired. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and flip (WATCH VIDEO FOR TIP ON HOW TO DO THIS EASILY), then return to oven to bake for another 10 minutes. Allow to cool, cut and enjoy! You can store in a sealed container on the counter for about 5 days.
