Some nutritional highlights from this recipe…
Quinoa is a great vegetarian plant source of protein. One cup of cooked quinoa provides approximately 8 grams of protein.1 It is also an incredible source of fiber which plays a very important role in gut health and provides many health benefits. Higher dietary intake of whole food fiber has shown to significantly lower risk of various cardiovascular, gastrointestinal diseases and other conditions like diabetes.2,3
Hemp Seeds are also a great vegetarian source of protein. The seeds are over 30% oil (containing Omega-3 and Omega-6) and 25% protein with considerable amounts of dietary fiber, vitamins and minerals.4 Omega-3 fatty acids are linked to healthier immune function, cardiovascular health and reducing inflammation.
The PureFood nutritional powders are included in this recipe as a way to boost your daily foundational nutrition from organic whole foods so your basis is covered with the added essential B-Vitamins to support energy production and whole food Vitamin-C to improve immune function so you can feel at your best to tackle and accomplish your goals.
