Veggie Fried Quinoa

Do you love fried rice, but don't love the calories? Try this veggie fried quinoa instead. The quinoa replaces the rice - as well as the calories, but it doesn't remove any of the flavor. I like this version so much more than traditional fried rice. Why? Because this one is only 3 SmartPoints per serving, 1 cup!
