Why It Works
  • Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning that it contains all of the essential amino acids that your body needs. It's also a good source of fiber, which can help to keep you feeling full and satisfied.
  • Vegetables are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They're also a good source of fiber, which can help to improve your digestion.
  • Dairy-free milk and vegan cheese are good alternatives for people who are lactose intolerant or vegan. They provide the same creaminess and flavor as dairy products, without the lactose.
