I had previously come across a site which provides quinoa flakes recipes. The recipes that involved quinoa flakes are quite hard to find. The first thing I had in mind was to order it online but this was not yet materialized. I am trying to come up with innovative dishes with quinoa flakes in them and I know that the recipes will help me with my plan.
Quinoa flakes are available in grocery store and health food store. However, only selected stores sell them. Even large stores such as Whole Foods do not have available quinoa flakes but I was able to purchase quinoa flour.
The texture of rolled oats and the flakes resemble each other. They can be a delicious way start your day especially when you add some nuts and fruits. You can also enjoy plain quinoa as much as you enjoy plain oatmeal. You can use quinoa as replacement for oatmeal recipes.
Babies can also have a taste of quinoa. You need not worry about introducing wheat at an early stage as this food is hypoallergenic and it will not produce any negative side effects on your baby. You may also check with your doctor just to be safe.
Quinoa flakes are cooked for approximately 4 minutes and following the 1:1 ratio. This means that one part flakes is to one part liquid. If you love baking, you can also use them to make your recipes a bit different.
You can add quinoa as an additional ingredient in a smoothie recipe. Here is a smoothie recipe that you should try.
Banana Quinoa Smoothie
What you will need are 1 cup vanilla flavored milk, 3T quinoa flour or flakes, 1 whole sliced banana and 1 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice.
Preparing banana quinoa smoothie is very simple. Just place all the ingredients into a blender and make sure to blend on a high speed for at least one minute. You can add crushed ice to make it more mouth-watering.
