For those who are health nuts (or at least have to live with them) you may be familiar with the South american crop know as Quinoa. Pronounced [Keen-wah], this super food has all the things oatmeal has, just better. It’s a great source of fiber, calcium, and protein while being perfect for vegans, celiac disease, and the lactose intolerant.
Like oatmeal, you just boil it up with hot water and serve. But you can add significantly more things to quinoa compared to oatmeal. Meats, veggies, fruits, dairy products, the whole shebang to make it customizable delicious any meal of the day. Making it the perfect food for those on a budget. For watching their health, it’s a great substitute for rice, pasta, and other carbs you may be trying to cut out.
One major win t has over oatmeal too is that once you eat it, you’re not hungry ten minutes later. Yes, oatmeal taste alright when flavored or with the addition of fruit, but that last for like twenty minutes. If you’re working some variation of a 9 to 5 work day, you need something that will keep you full without weighting you down. Did I mention how dynamic of a food this is?
Waffle Quinoa. Aside from being in really sub par cookies, oatmeal’s just not as versatile in the kitchen.
Final thought. It’s cheap, goes with all types of foods, and is super good for you. Go buy some now, your probably malnourished classmates will thank you.
