Quinoa Meatballs & Why Quinoa?

Written by Erin Porter

Why did we make quinoa meatballs?  Because we are back to eating super clean for awhile after loosening the reigns on vacation, which means no bread or even oats for bread crumbs, so I had to get creative.  By the way, if someone tells you that “zoodles” (zucchini noodles) taste just as good as regular pasta, ask yourself if you can really trust that person.  Sorry to all the zoodle lovers out there.  It’s still good, but just not the same. The meatballs were great and wait until you hear about the benefits of quinoa!

  1. Quinoa makes you feel full faster because of it’s high protein and fiber and is associated with weight loss.
  2. It contains prebiotics, so for anyone trying to heal their gut, it’s a great alternative to rice, and it’s also gluten free.
  3. It can ward off diseases like cancer, diabetes, and heart disease.
