Like quinoa, amaranth is a complete protein, packing in nearly 10 grams of the muscle-building nutrient per cup along with a notable amount of fiber, vitamins and minerals.

Inspired by spring, these Amaranth Flour Carrot Cake Cookies are spice-forward and a perfect pairing to a tall glass of almond milk.
