I came across this question the other day, and it got me thinking.
If you were indeed to take a trip to the moon – or were stranded on a deserted isle – which 5 foods would be on your list of ‘must haves’?
Of course, there’s no cheating allowed, not even on the moon.
Meaning whichever 5 foods you choose, they must also be gluten-free as well as free of any other allergens you normally avoid.
So, here’s my list:
- Quinoa
- Blueberries
- Hummus
- Avocados
- Salmon
Yes, I know.
That almost sounds a bit too healthy.
But that’s how I live my life. No matter where I travel, I like to be well-fed in a healthy sort of way.
However, if push came to shove, I would also include a supply of Beanitos Chips (gotta have something fun, right?)
Oh wait, that makes 6 items.
Oh well, I can’t think of a single item I would leave out.
Blueberries are full of antioxidants.
Salmon provides Omega-3’s.
Quinoa is an excellent source of protein. The cooked grain is wonderful for breakfast – topped with nuts or fruit – but also fills in as the perfect side dish along with Salmon, or even a vegetarian entrée.
A lot of people have a love-hate relationship with Quinoa.
For starters, they’re not even sure of the correct pronunciation. (Try “keen-wa”)
And avocados?
