How do you take your coffee?
For many people, a cup of coffee is a must to start the day in a good mood. Some prefer black coffee, but other people would choose a latte. If this is your case but you cannot drink animal milk or you just prefer a vegetable option, don't worry! We have the perfect alternative for your breakfasts or coffee breaks: the quinoa drink.
Quinoa has been cultivated in the Andes for thousands of years. Its nutritional benefits are well-known and its popularity has not stopped growing, making this pseudo cereal an essential food for many people around the world: either in grain, flour or even as a drink.
Why choose a quinoa drink?
Soy, oat, almond, rice, hazelnut, coconut, walnut... It’s no secret that plant-based drinks are gaining popularity. More and more people are switching to them, whether for health reasons, because they can’t tolerate dairy milk, due to ethical and environmental reasons, or simply because they don’t like its taste. Plant-based drinks are available in almost every supermarket, and they can be great healthy alternatives to dairy milk. So, let's see why quinoa drink stands out from the crowd.
In comparison to other cereals, quinoa has a higher amount of protein, fibre, minerals and calcium. This makes this pseudo cereal the perfect ally for anyone who wants to take care of their health, especially those who are looking for a higher plant protein intake.
Quinoa contains more protein than any other grain (12% - 16%), and its biological value is outstanding: each grain contains all the essential amino acids our body needs.
In addition to containing a high protein value, this pseudo cereal includes a rich supply of vitamins in its composition, including B1, B2, B3, C and E. It also has good levels of magnesium (favours the maintenance of muscle tone), folic acid (a vitamin responsible for the creation of red blood cells), iron and potassium, which influence intellectual development.
Moreover, quinoa is rich in slow-absorbing carbohydrates. It keeps energy and blood glucose levels steady, so it can be a great ally for many athletes and diabetics.
This drink doesn’t contain any animal ingredients, and it is lactose and gluten free. It is therefore an ideal substitute for diary milk, suitable for vegans and vegetarians, lactose intolerant or coeliac.
It is also a very versatile and digestible alternative that can become a basic ingredient for our breakfasts and snacks, for desserts or other recipes.
Why choose quinoa drink?
Quinoa drink is gradually gaining a place among the vegetable options. Its taste and nutritional value stand out among the vegetable alternatives, as it comes from a high-quality product.
There are many different varieties on the market, which are interesting. For example, the soya or hemp drink (rich in protein), the almond or sesame drink (because it has good levels of calcium) or varieties that have a more characteristic taste (coconut and oat drinks tend to be sweeter). However, because it contains the nutritional properties of this pseudo cereal, quinoa drink stands out particularly among these plant-based varieties.
