Quinoa is an absolute weight watchers delight and diabetic friendly too. It is gluten free, high in protein, fiber, magnesium, B vitamins, iron, porassium, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin E and antioxidants. It's imperitive that we introduce millets in our diet at some point of day and what better than breakfast. Addition of vegetables makes it more colourful and nutritious.
