Mexican Quinoa Stuffed Peppers

Delicious and healthy mexican turkey stuffed peppers with quinoa. Quinoa provides added protein, fiber and minerals and a delicious new texture! It has been a week or so since I posted my last post. How are those resolutions coming? I have loved hearing all of “little victories” that you have been having. It has really kept me on track this month with my eating goals. I have been making swaps for healthier foods and having little victories for myself! One thing that I love to add into my diet is quinoa. It has such a unique texture and has so many health benefits. Not only is it great for supporting weight loss and management, it has protein, fiber and minerals. I loved using this Kroger® Tri Color Quinoa in these stuffed peppers. It added so many benefits but also gave it little pops of color to the peppers.

So many healthy swaps were made in these peppers and it still added such great flavor. One thing that I love to swap out for my family is turkey meat. They don’t seem to notice a difference and it is leaner and adds more protein. Another great and easy swap in recipes is Sharp Cheddar reduced fat cheese. A lot of recipes call for cheese and its a great way to reduce calories. I consider recipe swaps that don’t have to compromise on taste huge victories. 🙂

I absolutely love to make stuffed peppers. It gives everyone their own individual pepper that is stuffed to the brim with goodness. All of the Mexican flavors that our family loves were represented in these peppers. From the heathy veggies to the spices, everything came together perfectly inside of these peppers. They were so delicious and I especially love the bright and fun colors of the peppers. Healthier ingredients and big on taste! These peppers were a huge hit with the family. I know that your family will love them just as much as we did and be a hit at your house!
