This quinoa bowl has been one of my favorite recipes for a healthy, refreshing, and filling meal prep! I love how many different textures and how much protein you can add into this. You can customize it with a variety of vegetables and proteins, but the dressing is what really brings it all together! Here I use my spicy lemon pepper chicken recipe as the protein.

Love it! Consider glass meal prep containers to minimize micro plastics if you can!

[ramyavijayaraghavan]
