Yogurt Quinoa

Quinoa, the “mother grain,” has a protein value that is extremely high (12-18%) and the protein it supplies is complete protein, meaning that it includes all nine essential amino acids. Quinoa is easy to digest and naturally contains no gluten. It is also a good source of dietary fiber, phosphorous, magnesium, and iron. I try to use Quinoa as part of our meal at least once a week.
