Fiesta Quinoa Bites: Avocado Packs a Protein Punch
Filed under: Healthy Eating, Holistic Recipe
The other day I had a "snack attack". In years past, this would often mean me ravaging my fridge only to end up eating a bag of chips or one too many cookies. I know better now, so I looked in my fridge and found some bare essentials to whip up this healthy snack.I had no idea whether it was going to taste good, but as you can see by the photo, it looks simply divine and was absolutely delicious. These fiesta quinoa bites are gluten-free, a source of protein, good fat and fibre. All in all, I give it an A+ for nutrition and taste.
Quinoa and avocado together provide an adequate amount of protein -- essential at every meal and snack to keep you fuller long, fire your metabolic rate and balance your blood sugar. Even better, quinoa is a complete protein. This means it is a source of all the essential amino acids, similar to how animal foods are complete, making it an excellent choice for vegetarians and vegans alike.
This recipe is also a source of soluble and insoluble fibre. In fact, one avocado packs in a decent amount of fibre at 10g which is more than most other fruit. The thing I love about avocados the most is their buttery cream texture. It's like eating something fatty, rich and delicious without the guilt!
Recipe after the jump.

Are Daily Cardio Exercises Recommended in Your Mid-50s?
The National Institute of Health states on their Senior Health Channel that there are studies showing that people in their mid-fifties benefit from exercise. As you get older, exercise can actually benefit you as much as it does for younger people. These benefits include such things as better overall health, stronger muscles, more endurance, improved focus, great joint movement, better circulation, a stronger heart and more energy.
It?s recommended that you get 15 to 20 minutes of cardio exercise daily. Be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin any fitness routine so you?ll know that you?re healthy enough to work out. There are various ways to get in your cardio exercises when you?re in your mid-50s.Walking: If you?re just starting to exercise regularly, try walking. Taking a brisk walk can get your heart rate up and keep it there while also working other muscles simultaneously. Choose a good time to walk in a park, your neighborhood or circling a nearby lake. Whether it?s in the morning or evening, it?s good to mix up your routes so you don?t get bored. It?s recommended that you check your heart rate to keep it between 116 and 140 beats a minute.
Exercise Videos: There are many exercise videos that you can buy or rent that will help you get in your daily cardio workout. These are fun and keep you from getting bored while performing your daily workout. You can try out Jazzercise, Zumba, Tae Bo and others to see which one suit you the best. These videos are useful to people that forget to warm up properly and will instruct the best way to do that. All workouts need to begin with a warm up and end with a cool down. Exercise videos are the best way to ease back into exercising.
Cycling: An excellent way to get in your cardio workout in is with cycling. If you can?t get outside, a stationary bicycle is an ideal solution. When the weather is nice, you can ride a bicycle around your neighborhood or find other locations that you find interesting. Just be sure to wear the proper equipment when riding. A study in 2010 showed that women of middle age that used a bicycle to exercise managed their weight easier than those that didn?t cycle. This study showed that just 5 minutes daily of cycling can make a big difference.
House Cleaning: Vigorous house cleaning can provide some efficient cardio workouts. This can expand to outside work such as mowing or raking your lawn. Things like this improve your home as well as providing some great cardio exercise.
The best thing you can do for yourself is to maintain an active lifestyle. This provides at the least a light cardiovascular workout that you can enjoy while also getting some things done. These types of workouts are suitable for people of any age as long as you?ve been cleared by your doctor to engage in exercise.
