Quinoa is a special kind of meal that provides all the necessary amounts of carbs and protein. It looks like grain, but it includes all nine necessary amino acids, which makes it a great choice for vegetarians and vegans.Curious about quinoa! Is it more of a carb or does it pack a protein punch? Would love to hear your insights!

Great question! 
Quinoa is actually both a carb and a protein – talk about a double whammy! It's a whole grain, so it contains carbs, but it's also a complete protein, meaning it provides all nine essential amino acids our bodies need. So, whether you're looking to fuel up on energy or build muscle, quinoa's got you covered!
