Easy Savory Italian Quinoa Bites

Print

These little quinoa bites are great for keeping around the house or stashing away at work like a cache of acorns to a squirrel. These are a perfect two-bite snack that satisfies midday hunger pangs. There’s a good amount of fiber, protein, vitamin B2, manganese and magnesium. Plus all the flavorful ingredients, including Superfood Turmeric, will make these flavorful bites a crowd and family pleaser.

Further Food Commentary:

I LOVE this idea for a quick, handy, family-friendly snack! It is chock-full of good for you, no artificial anything, delicious ingredients. The eggs and Asiago cheese add substance and healthy, filling protein, the zucchini adds potassium and fiber, and the flavors from sun-dried tomatoes and basil will take you straight to the shores of the Mediterranean! And what even needs to be said about quinoa? This iron-rich snack is going to become a staple in my household!

    Just took these out of the oven. Let me say these are fantastic! I did have to replace one ingredient. I did not have zucchini. I did have half a eggplant that needed to be used. So I peeled it a little and diced up and used that instead. Turned out great and will be making them again and again… Thank you for sharing this with us.
