I cheat by adding it to smoothies. I eat a pound of spinach a week.

    Ooh good to know. I make a lot of quinoa sushi rolls, too. (also with spinach)

      Is that quinoa being substituted for rice? If so, that sounds pretty interesting, especially because I stay far away from rice, nowadays.

        Yeah, and I just like the texture more. Sometimes I rice up parsnips with the quinoa for a pretty interesting texture/flavor. You can follow sushi rice recipes to prep it. I don’t cook the parsnips.

        For filling I matchstick any combo of carrots, cucumbers, SPINACH, beets, peppers, whatever, and let 'em marinate in a tiny splish splash of tamari and sesame oil. Add avocado when rolling. Meat is optional but encouraged, if that’s your thing.

          Sounds good; thanks for sharing!

          Over here, I’ve been enjoying Vietnamese spring roll wrappers (not fried) to make my rolls, these days. I think maybe I’ll try quinoa as a base next time, in place of my beloved SCO (steel-cut oats).
