quinoa.
Pronounced KEEN-wah, this is the best food you can possibly eat.
Packed with all sorts of nutrients and amazing stuff, it aids in weightloss, supplies energy, and is amazingly healthy for you.
My friend who is super obessed with healthy food (she does the paleo diet, is organic, and even went vegetarian WHILE on those diets for a while) showed this to me. I tried it and I was like whoa.
There are so many things you can do with it. It's a grain, but it's not. It's gluten free, its not a wheat.
I looked up some recipes you can do with it and there are an endless supply. Everything from breakfast quinoa with cinnamon and maple to quinoa tossed in a salad with tomatoes and spinach!

I had a swim meet this weekend and i knew quinoa would be the perfect thing to eat. Saturday morning I made up my own breakfast quinoa. I cooked the quinoa according to the directions on the box, then while it was still simmering, I added about a teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 1/2 tbs of brown sugar, half of a chopped up apple, and a bit of honey (to taste). I mixed it all together and it was delicious! Later that day (after I had raced) I baked a sweet potato and put some quinoa on there with a dash of cinnamon. That was great too! I would highly reccomend trying some quinoa. It is such an amazing superfood and it will help you feel and look better!
It's not hard to eat healthy! You just have to do it!
