Oats v/s Quinoa

oats is a complex carbohydrate with lots of fiber in it. However, quinoa id a complete protein and have the same fiber as oats. Though oats are fewer in calories but quinoa has more minerals than oats.

So, overall both are good depending on your nutrition requirement.

I would recommend to alternate between oats and quinoa to get the benefits of both the grains.

Now, Let get into this spinach quinoa porridge recipe.

dates – this is a natural sweetener with many health benefits. This also falls under the whole food category.
