Packed with nutrition and a garlicky cheese flavor, this vegan recipe will even please carnivores.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 C uncooked quinoa
- 2 tsp. coconut oil
- 1 baby bok choy, chopped
- Handful washed kale leaves, stems removed (optional)
- 1 cup mushrooms, chopped
- 1 (15.5 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
- 3/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 3/4 tsp. coriander
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- Salt & cracked pepper to taste
Instructions:
1) Cook quinoa according to package directions.
2) In a large wok or pan, add the coconut oil, bok choy, kale, mushrooms, beans, and the garlic powder and coriander. Sauté over medium heat a few minutes, or until kale is wilted and the mushrooms and bok choy are softened.

Just made the Mushroom Quinoa – with a few alterations to accommodate what I had on hand. Even my 2 boys (9 and 4) enjoyed it! Thanks.
Glad to hear it!
This sounds amazing! I believe we’ll be having this for dinner one night this week. My son and I are exploring a mostly vegan diet – eliminating all dairy, red meat and foul from our diets. For now we’ll eat organic fish and eggs a few times each week. (That feels right for us.) I love the nutritional yeast, and love the quinoa-kale combination. Thank you for sharing!
