Make sure you're set up for success all week long with prepped quick and healthy dinner options. It might take a few extra minutes at the beginning of the week, but makes sense to plan and prep ahead if your goal is to eat healthy all week long without spending all of your time in the kitchen every single night. So put on your favorite Netflix and pour a glass of wine or a mocktail, and prep this super easy plant plant-based veggie and protein forward option for a week of quick, healthy, and delicious meals ahead.
Chickpea & Quinoa Chick-Un Salad
Ingredients (organic whenever possible):
Chickpeas
Quinoa
Celery
Onion
Avocado Oil Vegenaise
Salt & Pepper
Directions:
Soak dried chickpeas overnight then boil and simmer for longer than you think.
Prepare quinoa per directions.
Dice celery and onion.
Mash everything together with Avocado Oil Vegenaise, Salt & Pepper to taste
Wash and prep lettuce, tupperware extra chickpeas and quinoa, and pair with other prepared veggies for quick and easy dinners or in a wrap for on the go lunches.
Enjoy as pictured:
Organic lettuce, roasted roots prepped ahead (sweet potatoes, carrots, radishes, beets, fennel), chickpeas, quinoa, raw fennel, Chickpea & Quinoa Chick-Un Salad, vegan bacon bits, capers (just to be extra), and drizzled with local organic olive oil.
Just pull out your tupperwares from the fridge and layer when you get home from work. This literally took one minute to put together on a week night after a long day of work, plus gave me back a little time to get in a workout.
