Nourish bowls have been my go-to meal prep lately because they're so easy to customize with your favourite ingredients! This healthy chickpea quinoa bowl requires just a handful of simple ingredients and takes less than 40 minutes to make. I love prepping the ingredients in advance to have for quick and easy lunches or dinners throughout the week.
How to Make a Nourish Bowl
Making healthy nourish bowls is truly so simple and easy to customize!
- I always start with a base of greens + grain of choice. I used mixed greens and quinoa as the base for this recipe. Other great base options are brown rice, massaged kale or cauliflower rice for a low carb option.
- Next I add roasted veggies, protein and carbs! I roasted crispy chickpeas, added massaged greens, and piled on some roasted sweet potatoes. For plant based protein ideas, my favourites are tempeh, tofu, beans, nuts/seeds, and lentils.
- Add your favourite dressing! I always top my nourish bowls with an easy homemade dressing. My favourite dressing for nourish bowls is this homemade creamy tahini dressing. It's made with just 4 ingredients and takes the flavours to another level! It also helps bring all the flavours together and add in some healthy fats and added nutrients.
