Nutritional values

Quinoa is perfect for those who have to eat gluten-free. This pseudo-grain, which originates from South America, has far higher protein and mineral content than other common grains.

Vegans or people with lactose intolerance can use a soy or nut-based yogurt instead of normal cow's milk yogurt.
