Quinoa is actually a seed, however cooked and used as if it were a grain. It is high in protein and contains all essential amino acids. Also a great plant based source of iron and rich in magnesium, B2, manganese and folate. I like to add it to quiches to build up the protein content.

Such a quick, simple and easy recipe to make during the week or on the weekend. Best part is, it is actually healthy, full of protein and holds together really quite well!

Love fried rice but trying to find a new way to enjoy it without feeling really full and sluggish afterwards? Cauliflower needs to become your best friend then. Its light fluffy texture makes it ideal to use as a rice substitute and will give you the added bonus of extra nutrition without losing the flavour.
