If you're looking for the perfect base to your protein bowl, this is it! Since quinoa has all of the amino acids, this is already a good source of protein but will become even more enhanced by adding tofu, chicken, turkey, fish, or whatever your heart desires. On top of that, who doesn't love a little umami flavor?
