🥗🍠 Grain-Free Quinoa Bowl 🥗🍠
Did you know that quinoa it’s not a grain, it’s actually a seed ! One cup of quinoa contains about 8g of protein and about 2.8 mg of iron (about 15% of DV). It is also packed with:
🧠Magnesium (118g or about 28% of DV) - supports nerve function, muscle contractions/relaxations, heart rhythm.
🧬 Folate /B9 (77 mcg or about 19% DV)- needed for DNA production/repair and cell division.
🫀Potassium (about 318mg)- support muscle contractions, maintain fluid balance and regulate heart beat.
🦴 Phosphorus (about 281mg)- helps produce energy (ATP) and works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth.
And that’s just the quinoa! The sweet potatoes also have a good amount of folate/B9, vitamin C (immunity) and vitamin A (great for vision)
In simpler words, this bowl is packed with nutritious and delicious ingredients 💙🩵
