Have I mentioned how deeply obsessed I am with quinoa? I mean, seriously, there are SO many health benefits to the South American seed (though it's typically referred to as a grain)--including the fact that it's a "complete protein" and contains a ton of nutrients. That's why, when it comes to losing weight, quinoa is by far my go-to food because it tastes great, can replace rice, AND can even be used to make a hearty salad that's as delicious as it is diet-friendly. In fact, I'm SUCH a fan of it that I'm practically falling over myself trying to make these 5 Latin autumn-inspired salads with quinoa--all in the name of weight loss and health (and SUCH great flavor). Trust me, you'll be loving these (and dropping the pounds) soon, too! Try them now.
