Recipe - Quinoa with Vegetables

Quinoa is an amazing superfood which has completely replaced rice for me. Quinoa is one of the most protein-rich foods we can eat, containing all nine essential amino acids and it contains almost twice as much fiber as most other grains. It is a great alternative for rice and my kids love it. 

Total Time: Prep: 20 min. Cook: 20 min. (Serves 4)

Ingredients
200g quinoa
1 tbsp olive oil
1 red onion (Chopped)
2 peppers (red, green, yellow or mixture)
1 garlic clove
200g Chicken Breast (Diced)
100g Mixed Vegetables 
Seasoning (Knorr cube, Thyme, Tumeric)

Recipe
1. Cook the quinoa following pack instructions

2. Chop the vegetables and put aside  

3. In a Wok, heat up the oil and add the chicken. Stir fry till cooked and stir in the onions and garlic.

4. Cook until the garlic and onion softens (about 2 minutes). 

5. Add the peppers, and vegetables; continue cooking until they soften (about 5 minutes). Season and cook for 1 minute more, then stir in the cooked quinoa. Serve hot or cold

(Add Chili pepper for spicy kick)

Little tip that works.

Eating 5 to 6 times a day is healthier than the usual 3 square meals a day. According to Fabry, an english researcher in 1964 found that eating one-sixth of your food six times  a day rather than one-third three times will help in weight loss, improves cholesterol numbers and glucose tolerance. Not eating for a number of hours triggers the starvation mechanism and that causes your body to preserve body fat.So please eat!

Benefits of Watermelon

(Source: stylecraze.com)

It is very good to start your day with a very juicy fruit like watermelon. I really love starting my busy day with this wonderful juicy fruit. I call it power house because the health benefits are so many. It is an excellent and natural source of most powerful antioxidant, vitamin C, A, B, B6,B1 to protect us from diseases. The antioxidants can also reduce the risk of colon cancer, asthma, heart disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and prostate cancer. The benefits are so many.

When the heat of summer tires us with thirst, eating watermelon is a safe alternative to taking energy drinks.  Nothing can be more satisfactory on a hot, dusty day than a crisp, juicy slice of watermelon.
