Quinoa and Diabetes
January 9, 2016Quinoa and Diabetes:
Quinoa can help control appetite which could help diabetic patients. Quinoa is a whole grain with low glycemic index to support an even blood sugar and is full of protein, gives a feeling of satiety and can be cooked in various ways. Quinoa has been considered a complete protein and also has high amounts of dietary fiber. Excellent replacement for people addicted with white rice.

Baked quinoa patties: one of the best option for food for lunch on the go.
Sprouts quinoa bowl: power packed with proteins, delicious, easy to cook.
Quinoa and asparagus: high fiber, vegan.
Broccoli quinoa: one of my favorites...can be clubbed with avocados.
Quinoa and grilled zucchini: a good option for vegetarians looking for good amount of protein and fiber in a meal.

Quinoa dishes :
Quinoa and black beans
Quinoa chick pea salad
Quinoa upma
Quinoa porridge
Quinoa vegetable salad
Quinoa stir fry vegetables
Vegetable quinoa pulao
Curd quinoa
Quinoa dosas
Quinoa idlis
For kids quinoa flour can be used to make porridge which contains vitamin B, vitamin E, iron and calcium could also be added with wheat flour in chapathis. Kids can also have quinoa with fruits, vegetables,yogurts.
So get started and make some room for Quinoa in your diet for a healthy lifestyle.
