I made quinoa burgers pretty frequently. They have a lot of protein and nutrients.

2 Cups COOKED quinoa
4 egg yolks
pinch of salt
1 onion chopped tiny
1/2 shredded mozzarella (or any cheese of your liking)
1/4 cup shredded or grated parmesan
4 garlic cloves chopped tiny
2/3 cup of italian spiced breadcrumbs
1/2 cup of shopped spinach or arugula or whatever green you want
1/2 to 1 grated carrot

Mix all ingredients together and fry each side in some olive oil to make the outside crispy. Cook through that way, or finish by baking in the oven. I usually do 375 and test the inside since there are eggs in it. Theyre super good, and Liv LOVES them. I make her finger sized ones.

You can also sub any type of veggie you want. Ive used peppers, etc.

I had a HUGE meat diversion while I was pregnant, so I feel ya!

ETA - I cook my quinoa in chicken broth or add garlic to give it more flavor

yup! ill clarify that

Definitely lots of good choices with quinoa!

Meat free chili with lots of beans and veggies should be easy to do

Check out TVP (textured vegetable protein) also. I used to use it a lot to make sloppy joes and things like that.

Lentil soup! That's my fave.

You have way more choices in the uk!
The quorn cocktail sausages are awesome. I use the quorn grounds to cook with.
Jacket potatoes with baked beans and cheese.
Tesco has some great faux meats.

We make fried quinoa often-just like fried rice but with the healthy grain-add in any veggies you want and some eggs-great meal!

I ate sooooo much peanut butter in the first tri.

But I make lots of soups or tacos with a combination of whatever veggies I have / quinoa or lentils /beans/ sweet potatoes + salsa.
