14. Quinoa Salad
Quinoa salad is a hearty, nutrient-dense snack that can be enjoyed cold or at room temperature, making it ideal for on-the-go snacking. Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids, and is also a good source of fiber, iron, magnesium, and manganese. Mixing cooked quinoa with vegetables (such as cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, and spinach), a source of healthy fats (like avocado or olives), and a simple dressing (such as lemon juice and olive oil) creates a satisfying and nutritious snack.
Quinoa salad is customizable based on your preferences and what you have on hand, allowing you to include a variety of nutrients and flavors. This snack is not only filling but also supports energy levels, digestive health, and overall well-being.
