Guest guest Posted June 5, 2002 Report Share Posted June 5, 2002 For As. Your complete protein that absorbs and digests well comes from animal protein. These so called experts mean well, except they have no clue about the blood type connection. Quinoa Dr Gillian Mc says in her book " Living food for health " that quinoa is a complete protein.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 There isn't any food that bandsters can't eat, at least some of them. Sure, might get stuck, but might not.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 I tend to not measure anything, lol-but I would guess I put about 1/3 cup in an 8 oz smoothie, more or less to taste and thickness. I do grind my quinoa, but I find uncooked in a smoothie is bitter and gritty-I like it precooked in my smoothies. Also, the Vitamix is WONDERFUL for grinding quinoa (or any other grain) into flour for baking-I use quinoa as a primary baking flour. From: K <lkinsey2020@...>Subject: Quinoa Date: Wednesday, August 4, 2010, 12:43 PM Hi, : Just wondering how much quinoa you put in your smoothies and whether it's already cooked or do you grind the grain? This is fascinating. I just recently started using quinoa, mostly as a replacement for rice. Thanks for the info, and I'll look for your quinoa recipes.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hello Bee, is Quinoa an acceptable form of protein for me? I am trying to get back to my semi-vegetarian diet , but for 2 years have done the meats with great success. I feel much better now, and would like to tweek it with more plant proteins now. I couldn't find your opinions here on the site, unless I missed it. And if so, my apologies. Thank you Bee. Warm regards, Gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 To continue on the topic of quinoa, just a pleasant reminder to that you mentioned you would post some quinoa recipes in the files section today (or whenever you get a chance.) I'm especially looking forward to seeing the bread recipe myself.

And if so, my apologies. > +++Hi Gail, You will become more dis-eased if you try to go back to the diet that caused you so many health problems. I don't recommend trying to get protein from any plant foods, since their nutrients are encased in their cells walls, which a fibrous, and we don't have digestive enzymes to break down fibres. That's why meats, eggs, and fats are the very easiest foods in the World for any human to digest and utilize. All carbs (plant foods) require so many resources and energy from the body in order to be digested and utilized, and that's why high-carbs cause poor health. Carbs are not necessary for health either - see these articles: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu3_2_1.php http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/menu3_2_2.php http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods34.php Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I'm pretty sure that does this and I'm sure she'll pop in with a reply.It would be healthier (enzyme inhibitors would be removed) if the Quinoa was soaked and drained before adding to the smoothie. I'd sprout it if it were me. Or, cooked Quinoa can be added as well.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I prepare my Quinoa (I buy the red) and add it to my smoothie that way. Adds body to it like a banana, but adds protein and no sweet.Deb "You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself ANY DIRECTION YOU CHOOSE".

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I grind up quinoa and use it as gluten free flour. I prefer the red quinoa, as it is milder. You will want to cook it before you use it in a smoothie. You can cook a batch and store it in a container in your fridge to last you the week. A spoonful or two makes a wonderful thickener and nice boost of nutrition. From: <kareningotham@...>Subject: Re: Quinoa Date: Thursday, May 19, 2011, 8:52 AM I think you need to cook it first.
