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.
