Meal Prep Vegan Superfood Bowl

(makes 4 servings)

  • 8 oz (250 g) package of microwavable quinoa (or 2 cups/125 g cooked)
  • ½ cup (120 g) of hummus
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
  • 5 oz (140 g) package baby spinach, rinsed
  • 8 oz (225 g) package cooked refrigerated baby beets (produce section)
  • 1 cup (140 g) frozen shelled edamame, thawed
  • 1 avocado (slice right before serving)
  • ¼ cup (30 g) unsalted toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  1. Prepare the quinoa according to the package directions.
  2. While the quinoa cools, make the dressing: whisk together the hummus and lemon/lime juice. If it’s too thick, drizzle in a few drops of water to thin to your desired consistency. Set aside.
  3. Divide the spinach among 4 reusable containers. In each container, add a quarter of the quinoa, beets, edamame, and pepitas.
  4. When you’re ready to eat, top each serving with ¼ of the hummus dressing and toss well before adding ¼ of the avocado, cut into slices.

Yum!

I hope this recipe makes your lunches easier and more delicious.

Setting realistic goals

Every once in a while I get a panicked email or call from someone who wants to “lower their cholesterol down x points before their next doctor’s appointment a month from now“ or “get ready for a marathon in two months”.
