Unlike most plant-based foods, quinoa is a complete protein, which means it contains all of the essential amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of the proteins that make up your muscles, bones, skin, and blood. The nine classified as “essential” must be obtained from food daily — your body cannot produce or store them — and quinoa provides all nine! It also is a wonderful source of fibre.


Ingredients

  • 75g quinoa 
  • 75g nuts (eg pecans, walnuts & sliced almonds)
  • 25g Oats @gfoats
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Sugar (or brown sugar)
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup

Method

  1. In a saucepan heat maple syrup & oil.
