Healthy Quinoa Bowl

Print Recipe

A vibrant and nutritious bowl packed with quinoa, fresh vegetables, and black beans, perfect for quick weeknight dinners and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of quinoa
  • 2 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 cup of diced bell peppers (varied colors)
  • 1 cup of chopped spinach
  • 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Rinse the quinoa under cold water. In a saucepan, combine it with the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the liquid has been absorbed.
  2. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they soften and become aromatic.
  3. Stir in the black beans along with cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
  4. Once your quinoa is fluffy, add it to the skillet with the vegetable mixture. Gently fold in the chopped spinach until it wilts and mingles with the other ingredients.
  5. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro for an extra pop of color and flavor.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat by adding a splash of vegetable broth to prevent drying out.
