Healthy eating goes out the window, I NEED FOOD! Ahhh, the good old mid-afternoon slump.

  • Here is another healthy and delicious lunch that is light enough for a quick lunch, but is also filling. Quinoa is a type of grain that contains a lot of protein and iron, plus can be combined with just about anything. You can have just quinoa and chopped veggies, add in some lean protein, or top a bed of lettuce and veggies with the cooked quinoa. It is very versatile with a mild nutty flavor that goes great with a lot of other seasonings and herbs. Plus, as a whole grain, quinoa and the veggies you mix it with are going to be perfect for burning more fat. If you make quinoa for dinner and have some leftover, add it to a container to use for a lunch later in the week. #Mindbodygram #blogger #foodie #foodblogger #eattherainbow #realfood #cleaneats #vegan #bestofvegan #healthyfood #f52grams #foods4thought #thefeedfeed #veganfoodshare #plantbased #eeeeeats #thechalkboardeats #dinner #lunch #bhgfood #f52gram #huffposttaste #foodgawker #thekitchn #feedfeed #thefeedfeed #buzzfeast #sweetmagazine
