Notes
*I used vegan chicken broth, but you can sub with veggie broth.
**I used Ripple - I find this in the coffee creamer section.
***FOR LEFTOVERS: the quinoa will continue to absorb the broth as it sits. If you prefer your leftovers to be more brothy, then you may want to cook the quinoa separately and add it to individual portions.
