HEARTY AND HEALTHY QUINOA BOWL
Ingredients:
- Hummus
- Avocado (sliced)
- Roasted Butternut Squash
- Quinoa or couscous
- Pumpkin Seeds
- Feta Cheese (omit if dairy free)
- Red Onion (chopped)
- Cilantro (chopped)
- Grilled chicken, salmon, tuna, leftover steak
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions:
- Pre-heat your oven to 400°F. While the oven is pre-heating, peel and seed 1 butternut squash and cut into 1-inch cubes. Toss the butternut squash with olive oil a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Arrange your squash on a baking sheet and then place in the oven for about 25min, or until the squash is tender and slightly crisped.
- Start constructing your bowl by taking about 3-4 tablespoons of hummus smeared on the bottom for your base. Next, add about half a cup of your quinoa or pearled couscous followed by 1/3 cup of butternut squash.
- Next, add about your protein. I love the Applegate Farms chicken OR you can add black beans for a meat alternative.
- For the next layer, place 1/2 sliced avocado evenly over the chicken. Then, add a sprinkle of red onion, roasted pumpkins seeds, and finally, feta or goat cheese.
- Lastly, garnish with cilantro, salt and pepper to taste.
Notes:
I got this recipe from HAPPILY GREY and made a few tweaks. It is DELISH. Pro tip: you can buy organic butternut squash already cut up from the grocery store for faster prep!
