Many people do not consume enough vegetables, which has a negative impact on their health and appearance.

The main complaint is that such food is not filling and does not saturate the body with protein.

However, the situation can be easily corrected, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.

Quinoa

This crop "looks" good not only in soups and as a side dish: if you preserve the texture of quinoa, it will make the salad more interesting, tasty and nutritious.

Therefore, you can try to prepare a light salad using a healthy product.

Tofu

Plant-based dieters are well aware that tofu is one of the healthiest foods. Soy cheese is also a source of large amounts of protein.

Therefore, it is worth using it in cooking.
