 Ingredients//

• 1 cup uncooked quinoa – then cook it – makes out to a little more than 2 cups cooked.
• 4 scoops protein powder
• 4 tbsp ground flaxseed

2. Cook quinoa according to directions below
3. Mix all ingredients together
4. Pour into non-stick mini muffin tins
5. Cook for about 30 minutes- mine took 28 minutes and that was almost too long
