Its SUNDAY and a PERFECT time to make that special breakfast for yourself, cause lets face it…who has the time any other morning of the week!
QUINOA being the main ingredient is known as the ‘Brain Grain’ and it isn’t by accident. A top source of riboflavin, it can help reduce the occurrence of migranes by increasing brain cell metabolism. It’s also packed with iron which means more red blood cells in the body to carry oxygen to our brain and muscles. And don’t forget about its vitamin B content – that’s what can help the mind stay sharp as a tack (ready for a big week ahead)!
