Quinoa is high in protein, containing all the essential amino acids, plus is very high in magnesium, potassium, zinc, (for women) iron. One cup quinoa provides a good amount of magnesium, which studies show can help control your body’s stress-response system, and hormones that elevate or diminish stress! Bring it on!

In a large mixing bowl, combine the kale, carrots, celery, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, oil and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, black pepper to taste. With clean hands, toss ingredients together until very well coated in the lemon and oil, massage well.
Add quinoa to the bowl along with the chickpeas, dried fruit, hemp and sunflower seeds. Mix until well-incorporated and taste for seasoning.
Divide the quinoa between 4 bowls.
In a mason jar or medium mixing bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the dressing until smooth. Add more water as necessary to make the sauce drizzle-friendly. Drizzle over quinoa, mix well and enjoy!
