With my diet "healthy" carbs is pretty much an oxymoron so it is kind of amazing I've become a fan of Quinoa. I've been sticking to the best Runner's food to make the most of my "training" and Quinoa was on that list! On top of studying I've been doing a little cooking to break up the day.
You'd be surprised at how many interesting recipes you can make with this tiny grain as the main ingredient. And to top it all off, most Quinoa recipes will never take more than 15 minutes.
This is what happened when I had "NOTHING in the fridge." Six ingredients: Quinoa, avacado, red pepper, black beans, pepper, and olive oil. Not bland at all!
Fun fact: Not only is Quinoa a healthy carbohydrate like I mentioned, it is also a muscle building protein; it contains 8 amino acids that the body requires to put the protein to good use. If you find yourself needing more protein in your diet, like me, Quinoa is a great side dish option.
