    Just looked up Quinoa.....never heard of it before. For 222 calories worth you get 8g of protein.....This is NOT a good source of protein. Carbs maybe.....Has 39g of those.

    If you are substituting it for rice with your meals, then it has it's benefits.

    I don't disagree with that......I am sure it is better for you than rice.....That said it is still not a great way to get her closer to her protein goals by itself.

    Quinoa is a complete protein, that is why it is so great!! Meat is too! And a few veggies...like spinach!!

    Quinoa. I love it lately. I cook it with chicken stock which adds flavour.

    I have mine cold with feta cheest, toasted pine nuts, beetroot, red onion, grilled chicken and then a dressing of extra virgin olive oil/balsamic vinegar. Yum.

    That sounds amazing! Thanks for the tip. Quinoa is pretty good.
