We have fallen in love with this traditional foodstuff from South America not only thanks to its rich content of protein, vitamins and minerals, but also for its versatile use in kitchen.

Directions:
Before you start cooking, soak quinoa into cold water for 5-10 minutes to get rid of its bitter taste. Then rinse the water and cook the quinoa till almost soft. Then add milk and let the quinoa steam. Meanwhile, mash the banana into a purée with a fork and add it into the quinoa. Next, add cocoa and protein, mix thoroughly and remove from the flame. You can add more milk, if necessary. Serve the chocolate quinoa still warm with a scoop of Greek yogurt, lyophilized raspberries and banana. Bon appétit!
