Broccoli, Asparagus and Quinoa Stir Fry

By á-77268

This vegan dish is high in protein without any animal fat what so ever which can be difficult to do. Many vegan dishes are full of carbs with the beans, lentils and legumes but surprisingly vegetables do have a decent amount of protein. Low in cholesterol. vitamin C, high in calcium and Omega-3 fatty acids.

This dish can easily be prepared ahead of time. Chop all the veggies and cook the quinoa the night before and all you will have to do the next day is fry it up and enjoy. It would also make a lovely chilled salad. Once the recipe has been cooked, place in the refrigerator for a few hours. Top the salad with lime and cilantro just prior to serving.
