Vegan inspired quesadilla!
Quesadilla is a traditional Mexican dish made with cheese and other fillings folded in a tortilla. It looks really yummy, so why not mix it up and make a healthier, vegan version?
So this recipe is my very first attempt at making vegan quesadilla, and for a first attempt it went pretty well! It was super easy and yummy and there are endless options when it comes to fillings. This is an amazing way of getting in loads to healthy food heroes, like beans, avocado, herbs and whatever other whole-food goodies you throw at it.
Here is the recipe, but please really just take this as guidance for your own personal twist :)
How does white rice really compare against healthier alternatives?
We all know that refined foods like white rice and white pasta are lower in nutritional content in comparison to their wholegrain counterparts. In order to demonstrate this, I have lined up white rice against brown rice as well as alternatives to rice: quinoa, millet and green lentils. I want to show you that firstly, there are much more nutritious alternatives to white rice, and secondly that different foods are superstars for different areas of nutrition - there is no one perfect food that will give you adequate amounts of everything that you need! Variety is the spice of life!
