“How I can keep WEIGHTLOSS DINNER LOW CARB YET HIGH PROTEIN”
“Except salads, what can I eat in dinner for Weightloss”
“What are EASY & HEALTHY WEIGHTLOSS DINNER IDEAS”
I used to be at the same place revolving around same set of questions until one day, this idea came to my mind to make Khichdi but without rice. I followed same technique as rice dal Khichdi but added veggies here which increases the fiber in the Khichdi.
.
I am pairing QUINOA KHICHDI with yogurt which makes the entire meal high protein. Along with that, there is a plate of salad which I am going to eat first because it will help my blood sugar level to have less spike than other way around.
Quinoa is one of the grain which is a complete PROTEIN PROFILE & I am planning to share amazing QUINOA RECIPES GOING FORWARD, stay tuned.
