Superfood Saturday: Quinoa
It seems like quinoa is EVERYWHERE these days, so I wanted to take some time today to talk about the benefits of this superfood. We love making it in our house- it is versatile and can be put in hot or cold recipes and has a great fluffy texture.
<Quinoa Health Benefits>
-Gluten free
-High in Protein
-One of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids
-Very high in Fiber, much higher than other grains
-Very high in Protein
-Has a low glycemic index, which is good for blood sugar control
It is also high in fiber, magnesium, B-vitamins, iron, potassium, calcium, phosphorus & vitamin E
And it is one of the ingredients of the PROPRIETARY PROTEIN BLEND in my Shakeology that I love & drink daily. The protein in Shakeology helps to build lean muscles and reduce cravings and is a treat I truly look forward to everyday.
If you haven't tried Shakeology yet I would love to share more with you. Send me a message or post interested below and I will reach out.
