Begin the year 2013 with good nutrition and exercise. Try swapping certain foods for healthier alternatives, such as, sweet potatoes instead of normal potatoes, vegetables instead of chips and quinoa instead of rice or pasta.
Quinoa: although considered a grain, it is actually a seed but can be prepared like whole grains such as rice or barley. Quinoa takes less than 15mins to prepare and tastes lovely with a meal or on its own but the main reason to have quinoa as your substitute to rice or pasta is because it has a high protein content (perfect for vegetarians and vegans) and it provides all 9 essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. It is gluten-free and cholesterol-free and almost always organic.
Quinoa can be bought in Holland & Barrett and Asda plus online. Try it out and see what you think.
Let me know what you try it with or if you add any specific flavours and spices to really make it a fab, interesting and healthy dish.
At Slimfit you aren't expected to stop eating the things you love. Curry can be paleo friendly and served with quinoa instead of rice.
