Vegetarian Quinoa Power Bowl

INGREDIENTS

Cooked Quinoa (in water)
Chickpeas
Black Beans
Canned Tuna in Water (No Salt Added)
Steamed Broccoli
Chopped Tomatoes
Finely Chopped Spring Mix
Juice of 1 Lemon
Any Seasoning


DIRECTIONS

1. Cook your quinoa: Rinse the quinoa, bring the water to a boil and add your washed quinoa [Per every 1 cup of dry quinoa, cook in 2 cups of water]. Cover and cook on medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the water is obsorbed and the quinoa is cooked. 
2. Cook your beans: Soak beans in water for 12 hours. Bring water to a boil and add beans, cover and cook on medium heat for 30-45 minutes depending on how long they were soaked [the longer they soak, the more water they absorb and cook faster]. You can also use canned beans to make this process go faster :)
3. Wash and chop the tomatoes, spring mix and broccoli. 
4. To a large bowl add quinoa, beans, tuna, tomatoes, spring mix and broccoli.
5. Add the juice of 1 lemon and any seasoning.

NOTES

• I love to make a big batch of this in the beginning of the week and enjoy a bowl every day for lunch. Right before eating, add the lemon juice and seasoning!
• I would recommend opening your fridge and your pantry and tossing in any vegetables, or protein you have handy. Experiment!
• You will find 42 grams of protein in just 1 serving!! 1 serving = 4 cups (as shown in the photo above).
