When your week gets hectic, having a healthy lunch ready in the fridge makes all the difference. I love these grain bowls because they stay fresh for days and provide plenty of energy to get you through the afternoon slump.

My biggest tip is to roast your vegetables on Sunday evening while you listen to your favorite music. Store the dressing in a separate small container and add it right before you eat to keep the greens crisp and fresh.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups cooked quinoa
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cubed
2 cups broccoli florets
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 cups fresh baby spinach
1/4 cup tahini
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon warm water

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Toss the cubed sweet potato, broccoli, and chickpeas with olive oil, oregano, salt, and pepper on a large baking sheet.
3
Roast the vegetables for 25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and golden.
4
Whisk the tahini, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl until smooth to make your dressing.
5
Divide the cooked quinoa into four meal prep containers.
6
Top each container with a handful of spinach and the roasted vegetable mixture.
7
Store in the refrigerator and add the dressing when you are ready to serve.

💡 Tips

Store these bowls in airtight glass containers to keep them fresh for up to four days. If you prefer your lunch warm, you can pop the grain and vegetable base in the microwave for one minute before stirring in the spinach and dressing.
