Quinoa and Black Bean Bowls

Quinoa has received a lot of attention recently. It is a delicious whole grain, and is one of the few grains that actually contains all of the essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. Black beans boost the protein and fiber in this meal even more. These bowls are extremely versatile and you can add whatever toppings you have on hand.
