Quinoa, Veggie + Feta cups
A protein-filled snack perfect for lunchboxes
These Quinoa, Veggie + Feta cups are a great way to use left-over quinoa, chicken and veggies while being the perfect addition to any kids lunch box.
Quinoa is an ingredient I love to use as it is a good source of vegetarian protein and is gluten-free. Combine that with the nutritional benefits of the eggs and veggies in this recipe and you have yourself one healthy snack!
If you’re looking for a dairy free option, you can always remove the Feta. Want a vegetarian option? Simply leave out the chicken. Don’t be afraid to mix up the veggies to use what you have on hand. Zucchini or broccoli are great options to throw in.
