Quinoa 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.

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.
