In Love With Quinoa

I am so in love with quinoa that I decided to research how great this little grain is. Quinoa is one of the most protein-rich foods we can eat an it contains almost twice as much fiber as most other grains, it makes you feel fuller for longer and is less “energy dense” which means it has fewer calories for the same volume of food.

These are the top 3 reasons to introduce quinoa to your diet:

1. Boost your metabolism
2. Get rid of toxins
3. Boost your fibre intake

Breakfast was simple. Omelet with yellow peppers and cheese, kiwi, a brazil nut, and coffee with milk.


For lunch I had leftovers of lentil soup, quinoa, and veal scaloppini with bacon.



I had to snack a LOT today as I stayed at work until 8PM :( ... Simple bar, chamomile tea, coffee with milk, activia yogurt, and seaweed.





I made a super simple dinner tonight using quinoa and it was delicious. I prepared the Quinoa as per package instructions, and ate with avocado and shrimp tossed on salt, pepper, and olive oil. It does not get simpler than that and the result was amazing!
