Broiled Tilapia & Cilantro Lime Quinoa

We think of fat and we think bad!

Here is the skinny on fats: there are types of fats that are body needs and they are actually good for us!

Mono-unsaturated fats and poly-unsaturated fats are among the categories of fats that our bodies need. These fats are so important for our heart health and have a positive impact on our cholesterol, LDL & HDL. Studies have even shown that omega 3 fatty acids (part of the poly-unsaturated fats) can improve the mental health of Alzheimer’s patients. Source: Health.Harvard.edu

Fish is a great source of Omega 3 Fatty Acids and it is lean protein! American Heart Association recommends eating fish 2 times a week!

So go ahead and enjoy something fishy! Here is my personal favorite recipe:
