Quinoa from day 4?

[Lily21]

Hey everyone, hope you're all enjoying your refeed!
I'm on day 2 but have been planning my week. Does anyone know if we can have quinoa instead of the rice or pasta from day 4 on? Its higher in protein so I was thinking it would be ok but just want to make sure!
Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks

Hi Lily, I hope you're enjoying your refeed. I think you'd be able to introduce the quinoa from day 4. Once you get to day 4 the rules are more lenient. I had Cous Cous on day 5. I have never had quinoa myself but I was contemplating having it. I have a vegetable chilli recipe that is served with quinoa, Is it nice?

Thanks lainag! Well I like it, it's kinda like Cous cous but looks a bit strange! It's got a little bit of a nutty flavour to it too. Can't wait to have some! Nom nom!

Quinoa will be fine. It's a great food and makes an excellent substitute for rice or pasta. The nutty flavour is nice.
