total timeIngredients
2 cups white quinoa
4 cups water
1 cup cooked quinoa
1 cup veggies of choice
1/2 cup protein of choice
1/4 - 1/2 cup healthy fat
dressing/sauce of choice
Directions
Add your quinoa and water to a small saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to simmer, cover and allow the quinoa to cook for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat, remove the lid and fluff the quinoa with a fork. Allow to cool completely before storing for later!
To assemble your bowls, follow this "loose" formula. Add 1 cup of cooked quinoa into each bowl. Top with your desired veggies of choice, protein, and healthy fat (avocado, nuts, seeds, etc.), and then finish with a dressing!
