Lean, Blood Sugar Balancing and Quick Quinoa Porridge
Quinoa, pronounced (keen-wah), is a super food all of its own. Though neither a grain nor a grass, Quinoa is referred to as a grain because it cooks and looks like one, even though it is related to the beets, spinach and tumbleweeds families.
This delicious, nutty-tasting little morsel is so wonderful because it is 100% gluten-free, a rich source of protein, high in fibre, a great source of complex carbs and contains all 9 essential amino acids, magnesium, iron, calcium and phosphorus.
