Healthy Carb Food #6: Quinoa
Quinoa has seen a surge in popularity in healthy eating circles in recent years, and for very good reasons. It is packed full of nutrition, particularly protein and fibre, and is also gluten-free which makes it a godsend to people that are gluten intolerant. A single cup serving of quinoa contains 39g of carbs with carbs making up 70% of the macronutrients.
As well as being packed with nutrients, quinoa is very filling, which is great for people that are trying to lose weight because it reduces the calories they take on. It is also thought to be able to improve blood sugar levels. It is available in a few varieties and can be used in a variety of dishes.
