Speaking of weight loss, everyone knows that you have to "stop your mouth and open your legs". Eating less and more active is the eternal truth, but weight loss cannot all rely on hungry stomachs. Relying on hungry stomachs to lose weight will rebound sooner or later, so lose weight. "Keep your mouth shut" is not to not eat, but to eat the right foods.

Although quinoa is a coarse grain, But the taste is very good. When you lose weight, you can replace the staple food appropriately, which can add a lot of flavor to the food.

Sweet potato does not need to introduce too much about the effect of weight loss. I believe everyone is moving. In fact, in addition to rich crude fiber to help weight loss, sweet potato also contains a large amount of mucus protein, which can prevent liver and kidney connective tissue atrophy and improve the body's immunity.

Sweet Potato Quinoa Crystal Bars

1. The quinoa is cleaned and soaked in clean water for one night. When we soak the quinoa, we will find that there is always a layer of insect-like things floating on the surface. This kind of substance also surrounds the quinoa grains. This In fact, it is the germ of quinoa, where the nutrition of quinoa is particularly concentrated. This ring bud is rich in a variety of nutrients, such as protein, vitamins, and minerals. The protein contained in half a cup of germ is equivalent to the protein of four eggs, and the vitamin B1 contained in it is 3.5 times the daily requirement of the human body. Some brands of quinoa rarely sprout after soaking, because the outer layer of saponins are stripped during the processing, and part of the germ’s nutrition is also compromised. Therefore, when choosing quinoa, choose those that can soak a lot. Germ.

2. The soaked quinoa can be steamed or boiled. After a long period of soaking, the moisture is sufficient, so there is no need to add water when cooking.

3. Slice the sweet potatoes, steam them with the quinoa, and mix them together.

4. Slightly crush it into a puree with a spoon.

5. Add tapioca starch. Tapioca starch should be added in stages according to the dryness and wetness of the dough. Because the water content of sweet potatoes is different, the added starch is also different. Just make the dough into a slightly harder state.

6. Divide the kneaded dough into the same size agent, put it in the palm of your hand, and knead it into a long strip.

7. Put everything in the steamer after cooking. Depending on the size of the ingredients, steam for 10-12 minutes to get out. Eat it while it's hot, it's sweet and chewy, the taste is particularly good.

Tips:
Excessive processing will lose the precious nutrients of quinoa. In order to preserve more nutrients, the finished quinoa should reduce the processing steps as much as possible. It is great to steam and eat directly like this.
The finished product after steaming will become softer, so the dough should be kneaded as hard as possible, which is conducive to forming.
