Recipe: Meal Prep Vegan Superfood Bowl

meal prep vegan superfood bowl

This Superfood Bowl comes together fast using <gasp> convenience foods! 

In just a few minutes, you can have 4 healthy meals ready to go for lunch or dinner.

If you want to add more protein, just add 3-4 ounces (80-115 g) of chopped rotisserie or grilled chicken to each serving. 

NOTE: You don’t have to buy pre-made ingredients – you can cook everything from scratch ahead of time if you want!

Makes 4 servings.

Ingredients:

  • 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)

Directions: 

  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.
