Yes, tastes great, protein, and very filling.

Quinoa is DELICIOUS!!

I make quinoa primavera, Qnuinoa with peppers, sauce and my homemade turkey sausage, etc...

There are many other ways I've prepared it but can't recall at the moment

I have been wondering about it. Please share some tasty recipes!!!!

I eat it almost every day

It is my carb in my PreWorkout shake and I use it in place of rice too.

It depends on your plan. If full liquids- hummus is usually not allowed yet. Tuna should be ok once you're on puree or soft foods. You need to blend it to a mushy consistency. Do you have a diet plan from your surgeon?

Quinoa is recommended on my plan.

I love quinoa! I like the red and/or black kind, and I toast it a little before preparing it. I also cut the Water down so that it doesn't get mushy. It's a complete Protein with all nine amino acids present, so it's a pretty good dietary choice, despite the carbs.

It's great stuffed into the baby sweet peppers that you can get at the grocery, as well as mixed with vegetables and chicken for a nice salad.

Awesome!! I love quinoa and knew it was good for protein but wasn't to sure about the carbs. Can't wait to have some.

There are also Breakfast quinoa recipes as well as pudding recipes. I've tried a few, but can't remember which ones came out good or not. That's why I didn't include them. An internet search should come up with some.

They're allowed on my plan at that stage but need to be blended to a mushy consistency.
