For lunch I decided to go with something healthy and easy. Below is the recipe for my southwestern quinoa bowl!
For the bowl:
•1 sweet potato steamed or baked
•1 tbsp cumin
•1 tbsp chili powder
•Salt and pepper to taste
•1/4 cup of black beans
•1/4 cup of corn
•1 cup cooked quinoa
Dressing:
•Half an avocado
•1/4 cup of greek yogurt
•1/4 cup of water
•1 cup of cilantro leaves
•1 clove of garlic
•1/2 tsp salt
•Juice from 1 lime
Recipe:
Before baking or steaming your sweet potatoes make sure to cube them and sprinkle them with the cumin and chili powder.
While sweet potatoes cook. Pulse all dressing items in a food processor until smooth.
Layer bowl starting with quinoa on bottom. Then top with corn, sweet potato and beans. Drizzle with dressing.
Add salmon or chicken for more protein!
