Why should I eat quinoa for breakfast? Will my kids eat quinoa? YES! When you mix it with nut butter and bananas they’ll eat anything!
Quinoa has lot of fiber, it’s gluten-free, it’s a complex carbohydrate (it will keep you full for a long time), it’s high in protein, and has a low glycemic index. Need I say more? I love when my kids eat these because I know how good they are for them! When they eat garbage sweet cereals for breakfast they’re hungry again in an hour and I feel that awesome mom guilt…you know what I’m talking about!
