Quinoa is closely related to spinach; much like spinach, it is packed with nutrients. It is a terrific source of protein, amino acids, insoluble fiber, magnesium, riboflavin, and phytonutrients.
Regular consumption of quinoa can improve your cardiovascular health, reduce the frequency of migraine headaches, and even decrease your risk of certain cancers.

Most commercial granola is loaded with refined sugars, but this DIY version has only 5g of added sugar per serving. This easy, homemade granola using oats and quinoa relies on the natural sweetness of maple syrup and freeze-dried fruit. Look for freeze dried berries and mangoes where coconut chips and dried fruit are sold and be sure to tightly seal the bag after opening or the fruit becomes soft instead of crispy. Serve the granola with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit.
