Protein-Packed Quinoa Bowl (A.K.A. The Bowl That Does It All)

This bowl is hearty, nourishing, and ridiculously flexible—because you should eat what you love. Packed with protein, fiber, and flavor, this is a meal that fuels you up and actually tastes good (because bland quinoa is a crime).

How to Make It

🍚 Quinoa, cooked in broth – Because plain water is boring, and we have taste buds.
🫘 Chickpeas – Roasted for extra crunch, or just toss them in as-is. No pressure.
🥕 Roasted Carrots & Garlic – Sweet, savory, and loaded with flavor.
🥔 Potatoes or Sweet Potatoes – Because carbs are life. Roast ‘em for extra goodness.
🍅 Fresh Tomatoes & Cucumbers – For crunch and freshness.
🧀 Feta Cheese – Salty, creamy, and makes everything better.
🥑 Dollop of Green Goddess Dip – The ultimate finishing touch. (If you don’t have this in your fridge yet, fix that.)

🫒 As with everything, sprinkle some quality olive oil and salt on top. It’s my golden rule.

💡 Pro Tip: Swap in your favorite veggies or proteins—this bowl is about you and your cravings.

Why This Bowl is Good for You

💪 Protein-Packed – Quinoa + chickpeas + feta = a solid dose of plant & dairy protein to keep you full.
