A delightful and nutritious quinoa bowl packed with vibrant ingredients, perfect for quick weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Quinoa, rinsed
- 2 cups Vegetables (broccoli, bell peppers, spinach, or your favorites)
- 1 cup Lean Protein (chicken, tofu, or chickpeas)
- 2 tablespoons Healthy Fats (olive oil or avocado)
- 1 teaspoon each of garlic powder, pepper, and any fresh herbs you love
Instructions
- Cook Quinoa: In a pot, combine 1 cup of quinoa with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer for 15 minutes or until the grains are fluffy.
- Prepare Protein: Season your chosen protein with spices and sauté in a skillet over medium heat until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes for chicken or tofu.
- Sauté Vegetables: In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil and add your chopped vegetables. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until they are tender yet vibrant.
- Assemble the Bowl: Serve the cooked quinoa in a bowl, crown it with the protein, and top with sautéed vegetables. Drizzle with more olive oil or garnish with slices of avocado.
Notes
Feel free to substitute quinoa with another whole grain, and switch up the protein based on your dietary needs.
