Powdered (Raw) Red Quinoa: Grind uncooked red quinoa in a seed/coffee bean grinder and add this superfood to your smoothies or even muffin batter.

I use a coffee grinder to make it powdered and add 3 tbsp to my smoothies (32oz). Benefits: Rich in Protein, Iron, Fiber, Iysine (tissue growth & repair), B2, Manganese.
