Quinoa & Brown Rice Stir Fry with Eggs, Tamari and Green Veg

A perfect balance of protein, fibre and essential micronutrients. You can put this together in 7 minutes and it keeps you going through the afternoon without the energy crash.

Why This Works Nutritionally

Quinoa is one of the few plant foods that is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids. Combined with eggs, you get a serious protein hit that stabilises blood sugar and supports hormone production. Green vegetables add fibre, folate and magnesium. Ginger and garlic are both anti-inflammatory and support liver detoxification, important for healthy oestrogen clearance.
