Grilled Mushroom, Quinoa Tabbouleh, Avocado & Cashew Cheese

Grilled Mushroom, Quinoa Tabbouleh, Avocado & Cashew Cheese

The best breakfasts are those you can also eat for dinner too, and this one is a definite for both. It’s loaded with vegetables, rich in plant proteins from quinoa and cashew cheese and is meaty and sustaining thanks to mushroom without having the meat. A favourite on my menu repertoire for breakfast, lunch or dinner.
