Recipes
Almond, Apricot & Quinoa Salad
Quinoa (KEEN-wah) is a tiny grain with a texture lighter than rice. It cooks quickly, and is packed with more nutrients than most grains. Quinoa is coated with saponins, a natural pest deterrent. Althoughharmless to consume, it has a bitter taste so quinoa must be rinsed before use.
Healthy Eating Tips
Concerned about your cholesterol? Watch out for saturated fat! Saturated fat is commonly found in animal products. Choose lean meats and low fat dairy. Read food labels, and try to buy and eat foods with less than 2 grams saturated fat per serving.
Need an afternoon break? Coffee can wake you up, but then leave you tired again. Instead, grab a piece of fruit & a small handful of nuts and take a 5 minute walk& you'll be refreshed and full of long lasting energy!
