Bowls are my go-to for lunches. They tend to keep well all week and the options are endless to avoid getting too bored. The simple formula of a whole grain, protein, veggies and a sauce is easy to follow, delicious and nutrient-packed! 

Quinoa provides the grain base of these yummy bowls. Kale, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes add the veggies, providing fiber, vitamins and polyphenols (healthy plant chemicals!). The protein is supplied by both the quinoa and black bean burgers (not pictured). 

I’ll be honest, I find meal prepping for new and exciting (and healthy) lunches week after week to be a daunting task. These kale and quinoa bowls came together quickly and kept me feeling satisfied all afternoon!

I hope you love these kale and quinoa power lunch bowls! They are:

  • Fiber-rich 
  • Nutritious 
  • Filling 
  • & Delicious!
