Quinoa and veggies power bowls are Ideal for meal-prep or weeknight-dinner. They’re is vegan, gluten-free, healthy and so tasty.
These bowls really have everything: fiber, protein, heart-healthy fats, plus a ton of micronutrients. And you can completely customize the ingredients to include any grain you’ve got on hand.
For the sauce, I keep it simple with a honey-Dijon vinaigrette. It is really a basic sauce over here which needs minimum components and is super flexible. But in lieu of this sauce, you may add a dollop of hummus or your own preferred bottled dressing rather.
These bowls can up to 3-4days at the refrigerated. The veggies, grains, and greens are hardy enough to be chilled and reheated.
