Make QUINOA (pronounced kin-wa). It looks like a grain (like birdseed really) but cooks up like couscous or rice. It is a protein with a very low glycemic index, meaning it releases sugar (and energy) into your system v – e – r – y slowly. You can eat it as a side dish (like rice) or like a cereal like oatmeal. You can add other things to it for more flavor, like blueberries or other fruit, or you can top a salad with it. It’s very versatile.
It is a great, healthy food, and great before a fast.
Also… last thing before fast starts… a big glass of water.
