But luckily – with The Healthy Mummy – the recipes are are DELISH and can help shift tummy fat – plus you can get results like Hannah Pech has below!
For me, foods to beat tummy fat need to have a few things in common. They need to contain LOTS of vegetables to keep our digestive system working great.
They need to have a nice source of protein and contain low GI complex carbohydrates to help us stay fuller for longer, they need to have prebiotic or probiotic foods to help our gut health, and they need to be low in stuff that will promote tummy fat like sugar or refined carbohydrates.

- If preparing this recipe for only 1 or 2 serves it is probably easiest to prepare a larger batch of quinoa and then freeze any leftovers, rather than trying to just simmer 1 or 2 tablespoons of quinoa.
