Italian Herbed Quinoa Stir Fry

Chosen Foods was kind enough to send me a package of goodies today, and I just couldn’t help but dive in and start recipe creating with some of their clean-ingredient, nutrition packed, top notch products! In the wellness world there are SO many companies that label their products as healthy, yet still add chemicals, binders, fill them with sugar and strip away the good nutrients. You must be picky when it comes to buying packaged products these days, it’s really become quite crazy what they are adding to so called “food”.  When it comes to Chosen Foods, you can always rely on them for the best quality, bar none. They have it all from vegan mayo, quinoa, chia seeds, oil sprays, oils and more!

I used a few of the above products and came up with this super simple stir fry loaded with essential nutrients for keeping you healthy and happy!

1. scallops rule the word (sorry Beyonce!)  – Check out this article for more on the nutritional benefits of scallops and 2. this is probably the easiest yet tastiest stir fry I’ve yet created!

Give it a wok!
