quinoa is a complete protein, provides a ton of protein and fiber when compared to brown rice. However, it also has much more fat and more calories than brown rice so I'm not sure if it's appropriate for phase 2.

What a great combination! Best complete protein with no animal fats. It's a good substitution to eating meats. I heard a lot of great things about quinoa as one of the highest sources of magnesium and potassium. This is great for a variety diet that focuses on lowering bad fats and increasing the fiber in the diet. Thank you for posting it.

Great recipe, easy to do. The lime adds a fresh taste for a summer dish. I am in phase 1 of the Fat Smash diet and so far, it is my favorite recipe and one that I will continue to eat after my diet. Thank you so much for posting it.

Yum! One of my favorite recipes EVER and i do a lot of cooking! It's so easy to make, it's inexpensive to prepare and it's so filling. I usually combine it with an avocado, although it does raise the calorie count. However, it's just too delicious to make the calorie count the reason i don't eat it!!!

This was really good. Made a few adjustments though. Used veggie broth to cook the quinoa and replaced the green pepper w/fresh jalapenos.

This is DELICIOUS! I do think it will be even better if I go with sur365's adjustments tho. First time trying quinoa & I'm so glad I found this great recipe to try it in.

Really good. I added a chopped red chili pepper and a little salt. I decided I wanted it warm - so I nuked my portion before eating and then added more lime. Delicious. An avocado would make it even better.

Me gusto :D I made it but instead of water I used reduced sodium chicken broth and insted of red onion I used white and instead of green bell peper I used red . I also added sliced jalapenos !yummmmm ... I think next time I make it I won't add the olive oil. I don't see the point of it but we wil see . OH and EXTRA LIME :)

Tried this last night. It was a big hit - though I want to try it next time with some of the changes suggested in the comments to spice it up even more.
