Curry Quinoa Timbale over Baby Arugula Salad

 Quinoa is not only delicious but one of the best sources of tons of vitamins and minerals! Its light, fluffy flavor has always been one of my favorites. Plus, it's full of amino acids, actually all 9 of the necessary ones. It also has as much protein pound for pound against meat. That should satisfy most of your protein cravings and help you with lysine if you work out and are worried that a vegan diet might not contain enough protein.

If this is not enough to convince you to LOVE quinoa, I have a few more phenomenal facts about this Superfood...

It's full of antioxidants helping your body rid itself of free radicals, wheat and gluten-free, Magnesium rich which helps control hypertension, fiber-rich so it helps clean your colon,  lowers triglycerides,  helps regulate bile helping prevent gall stones, and if that is not enough, it  aids in WEIGHT LOSS!!!!
