Quinoa And Shrimp Medley

Lifestyle expert, ๐๐ค๐ข๐๐ฃ ๐ค๐ ๐๐ค๐๐๐ฎ founder and mother of three, Camila Alves McConaughey, is sharing one of her favorite comforting healthy recipes for the cold weather.
โWhen I cook with veggies, the smaller I chop them, the more likely my kids are to eat them. This easy and delicious recipe is the perfect light meal and great for getting little ones to eat their greens.โ
This warm salad is wonderful all year long, but especially this time of year in the colder months. It is packed with flavor and a perfect start to any winter meal.

For the artichoke hearts, look for bags of frozen at your grocery store. They are cooked and flash-frozen without additives or oils, so you can control the spices and add your own oils.

Try roasted vegetable broth for the quinoa if you can find it. Itโs a healthier veggie version with deeper, richer flavor from roasting the vegetables first.

Eating shrimp as part of a balanced diet can offer a person several key nutrients, and it may be good for their heart and cardiovascular health.
Doctors previously recommended against eating shrimp as part of a heart-healthy diet, citing the high levels of cholesterol it contains.
However, researchers now have a better understanding of what contributes to heart disease and higher cholesterol. It seems that shrimp may, after all, be an excellent addition to a healthful diet.
Even for people with high cholesterol, the advantages of eating shrimp appear to outweigh the disadvantages.(1)
