You’ll also supply your body with important amino acids needed to create new

18. Quinoa
If you haven’t tried quinoa (pronounced ‘keen-wah’) then you don’t know what
you’re missing out on. Along with being gluten-free, this nutty flavored grain is
a complete protein — making it ideal for vegetarians. It can be used just like any
other grain, for breakfast, in salads, or as a side.
Another great benefit is that it’s one of the few grains that are alkaline forming.
Here’s a great quinoa recipe from our recipe guide:
