A nourishing breakfast bowl filled with fluffy quinoa, vibrant vegetables, and rich flavors to kickstart your morning.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (170 g) quinoa
  • 2 cups (480 ml) vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 cup (100 g) spinach
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  4. Stir in the diced bell pepper and zucchini. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.
  5. Add the spinach to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Layer the fluffy quinoa followed by the sautรฉed vegetables in four serving bowls. Top with sliced avocado.
