9. Quinoa
Quinoa is one of the world’s most popular superfoods. Many people mistakenly believe that quinoa is a grain-free gluten-free food. In fact, quinoa is a seed. One cup of cooked Quinoa contains eight grams of protein, and only 222 calories. It is already nutty and doesn’t need any additional flavoring. You can add spices to Quinoa if you like. Quinoa not has only a lot of protein but also a lot of fiber.
A single cup of quinoa can keep you satisfied for an extended period of time. This will make you less likely to snack or eat other unhealthy foods, helping you lose weight. You can add quinoa to many recipes, or you can simply mix in some vegetables for a healthy meal.
