Dinner Healthy Recipes

Caprese Quinoa Casserole

An easy, flavorful and healthy dish to serve for dinner!

After recent polls on my Instagram Stories, you all asked for more healthy recipes and I am here to deliver.

Quinoa is a staple in our home. It has been so helpful in my postpartum weight loss journey and used in so many of our dinners. Quinoa is filling, healthy and so versatile.

 

When I am craving something Italian, but don’t want to go all in with pasta, this is the meal I make.

It has a kick from the red pepper flakes, and tons of protein from the Greek Yogurt, Spinach and Quinoa. For added protein, I typically serve this dish with turkey meatballs. This dish can be served as a side dish or a main course.

I love how easily this recipe comes together. I usually cook quinoa in bulk at the start of the week and use it in different dishes for dinner. Having the quinoa prepped ahead of time saves time on making this Caprese Quinoa Casserole.

Another reason why I love this recipe so much is how creamy it is. Not just from the cheeses, but because of the Greek Yogurt. It makes this recipe extra guilt-free! It’s a healthier, high-protein swap for heavy cream. If you decide to use heavy cream instead of Greek yogurt, you can swap it for about 1/3 cup. I have made it both ways and you cannot taste the difference!
