This meal makes my cells happy & will make your cells happy too. This is a meal that will nourish your body, mind & soul with superb nutrients.

Quinoa Tempeh Stir Fry is excellent for rainy days, snowy days, sunny days, active days, inactive days, busy days….I think you get the point, this recipe is good any day! It’s also gluten free and dairy free!

What you’ll need:

1/2 cup quinoa, rinsed

1 small – medium yam, chopped into cubes (leave the skin on = VITAMINS)

2 cups broccoli, chopped

1 block tempeh, chopped into 1 inch cubes (fermented soy, great for a healthy gut)

1 Tbsp coconut oil

1 tsp turmeric (anti-inflammatory properties!)

1 tsp cayenne (metabolism booster)

nutritional yeast to top it off (rich in Vitamin B12)

In a pot, bring 1.25 cups water + quinoa to a boil, reduce to simmer and add sweet potato then cover the pot. In a pan heat up 1/2 tbsp coconut oil on low-med heat and add the tempeh and broccoli. After 20 mins the quinoa and sweet potato will be cooked. Turn off stove and add the quinoa & sweet potato to the pan. Add spices & remaining oil, mix it up, serve on a plate. Top with nutritional yeast.

Enjoy!
