In addition to being a high alkalinity seed, quinoa has protein, fiber, and a great variety of nutrients. Yep, it’s actually a seed. High in fiber and protein, and low in fat and calories, bulgur is another food that offers bulk and nutrients to fill you up without adding pounds. Garbanzos are full of protein and support the digestive track. Broccoli helps maintain the nervous system, regulates blood pressure, fights free radicals, and a potent cancer fighter. Do we have to say more?
Makes 4 servings.
