Day 15 Ever Eaten Quinoa?

Trish Workout: Walked 1 mile.
Vince Workout: None  Has he given up?

 Quinoa is like a grain. Sort of a cross between rice and pasta with a different texture. It can be cooked like whole grains or rice. I use it a lot to add to a stir fry meal. Incorporate with chicken chunks and your favorite veggies with a little olive oil. Can be eaten stand alone or as seen in the caption. Quinoa is a complete protein  and is very healthy for you. It is glutten free and cholesterol free. 

Preparation: Cover it with water or vegetable broth and boil until soft, about 15 minutes. Or, place 1 part quinoa to 2 parts water in your rice cooker.

Nutrition: According to CalorieCount, 1/3 cup of cooked quinoa has 160 calories, 2.5 grams of fat, 3 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein.

Was surprised to learn this morning that Vince ate the
last few scoops of my oatmeal! Desperate for a replacement. Attempted
to eat his quinoa for breakfast. He usually warms it up with
coconut milk and adds blueberries. My eyes can barely look
upon it when he eats it! Reminds me of vomit.
Was able to eat it plain. Better for dinner with spices,
onions and tomatoes and a bit of olive oil. etc. 

Blueberries are a superfood in my book!

Did you know... Vitamin D3 can help you maintain a strong immune system, help you avoid the common cold, may help in keeping cancer away as well as other muscular/skeletal diseases!
