Grain Bowl
Hearty power bowl full of fiber, complete protein from the quinoa and lentils, and essential vitamins and minerals. Perfect for an easy lunch or dinner to throw together when you have little time. Takes no more than 10 minutes to make.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup quinoa red or white
1 can of lentils; I use organic, sodium free or cook them myself.
1 bell pepper
1 cucumber
1 cup Mixed leafy greens
1 red onion
Parsley leaves
Dressing: extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lime/lemon juice, red pepper flakes, pink himalayan sea salt.
​
DIRECTIONS:
01. Bring a cup of water to a boil on medium heat and cook the quinoa for 12-15 minutes. Rinse under cold water. Measure out about 1/4 cup of quinoa.
02. Measure out 1/3 cup or preferred amount of lentils and rinse well. Leave cold or heat up in a pan if preferred.
03. Prep the veggies: Chop up red onion, bell pepper, cucumber. Can use a preferred amount. For a single serving bowl I will use 1/4 bell pepper, 1/2 cucumber, a tbsp of chopped red onion. Veggies can be cooked in a pan with olive oil or left raw for extra alkalinity.
04. Nicely place all ingredients over some leafy greens for that good digestion and extra nutrients.
05. Dressing: Mix equal parts extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lime or lemon juice (I always use about a tsp of each), pink himalayan sea salt, red pepper flakes and pour over your bowl!
