The Power of Two Eggy Quinoa Cups
Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a unique grain, not just because it is gluten-free, but it also contains very high amounts of complete protein, meaning it provides all nine essential amino acids. It is also high in fibre, iron, magnesium, calcium and other minerals. No wonder, it is known as one of the world's most popular superfoods.
Let's take it to the next level by pairing it with another superfood: an egg. Eggs are packed full of protein, vitamins and minerals.
To make things even better, I included turmeric in this recipe. Not only does it add vibrant colour to the meal, but it's also a natural anti-inflammatory spice. It's believed that a low level of inflammation may play a major role in a number of chronic conditions, such as heart disease, cancer, and mental health issues. Anything that can help fight inflammation is important.
In a nutshell, these quinoa cups are a nutritious, delicious, and light snack, breakfast, or lunchbox item for the whole family. Isn't it amazing to cook one meal for the whole family that not only tastes good but is also packed with all the good stuff? No brainer, it's a winner!
