breakfast is one of my favorite meals, and i
never, ever, go without it.
for me, breakfast is always nutritious
and healthy. it jump-starts my metabolism. it’s the fuel that gets me
going so i can face the day ahead. i cannot emphasize how vitally
important breakfast is to get you started on your day. you've just had
maybe 6 to 10 hours of not eating – your body needs sustenance and is
ready to be refueled.
some mornings i like to have quinoa porridge for breakfast. i mix between quinoa and chia, quinoa and steel -cut oats, this cereal, this cereal or this cereal.
quinoa, pronounced keen-wah, is a grain-like seed. quinoa is
complete protein food, which means it includes all of the eight
essential amino acids that are needed for growth and repair. it is a complex carbohydrate, high in
vitamins and minerals, and gluten free. sometimes i use quinoa flakes
and other times i use the traditional quinoa seed. it is so very easy
and quick to do, plus it is jam-packed with nutrition.
