I like to meal prep for the week so we have healthy meals that we can grab as we run to sports and activities. This is one of my favorite fast and easy recipes to make. I used the base recipe for a Buddha Bowl from eatingwell.com and tweaked it a bit. (It is my favorite recipe to make variations of for the week.)
- ¾ cup canned black beans and chickpeas, rinsed
- ⅔ cup cooked quinoa
- ¼ cup hummus
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons pico de gallo
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Combine beans, chickpeas and quinoa in a bowl. Add tomatoes. Mix hummus and lime juice in a separate bowl and drizzle the hummus dressing over the bowl. Add pico de gallo and sprinkle with cilantro.
I bought this set of containers to meal prep with. I love how they stack neatly in the fridge and the lid is tight enough that I am confident it won’t spill. I threw this exact meal in my purse for Shep’s baseball game.
Don’t you love my cheesy self-portrait posing with the containers? Part of what I am doing for Amazon involves taking lots of pictures like this. I was so glad David wasn’t working from home that day. All I could picture was him walking into the kitchen to me posing with our dinner.
I’ll probably spend my weekend posing with a mixer or something equally riveting. Happy Friday!
