Quinoa and WW Points

Can someone please help me with this receipe...I pointed it out using e-tools but may have made a mistake b/c I'm unsure about the Quinoa

2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 Cup Quinoa, 2 plum tomatoes,
1 garlic clove and 7 basil leaves

Quinoa is cooked in the broth and everything else is chopped up and then combined.

Re: Quinoa and WW Points

Is the 1 cup dry or cooked? I used my calculator to figure out the Points of my quinoa. The serving size was 1/4 cup DRY (of course once it was cooked it appeared to be closer to a 1/2 cup).
If you have the nutritional info I would just plug that into the calculator.

Thanks for the reply.

It was dry. I entered the recipe in etools before I made it and pointed it out by serving, the recipe didn't specify exact amounts. When I thought about it later there was a great difference in pts value between the cup dry vs cooked.

It was yummy but I'm still thinking about the point value!Chat Icon
