A lot of people think pasta is reserved for cheat days, but this recipe takes all of the guilt out and sacrifices none of the taste.  It’s delicious, easy to make, and will support your daily muscle building needs.  I would recommend really going hard in the paint with this recipe on difficult training days, as it is packed with protein, carbs, and goodness to help you take advantage of your hard work in the gym or on the track.  Cheers.

Bring 4 quarts of water to a rapid boil and then dump in the Quinoa pasta.  Bring the water back to a boil and cook for approximately 7 1/2 minutes.  Stir often, and while it cooks, combine 5 heaping Tablespoons of Greek Yogurt with the chicken.  Strain the pasta when it’s done and combine it with the yogurt and chicken.  Mix it all up, add buffalo sauce to taste and sprinkle blue cheese crumbles on top.  BOOM.  DELICIOUS MUSCLE FOOD FOR MULTIPLE DAYS.  And it only takes about 20 minutes to make.  No excuses.
