Easy Protein Bowl
If you're into meal prep, this super easy protein bowl is a simple way to get a few day's lunches AND pack your diet with some protein and healthy veggies.
Ingredients
- 2 lb Ground Turkey
- 1 cup Quinoa
- 2 cups Cauliflower Rice
- 1 Sweet Potato
- 1 Yellow Onion
- 1 Red Pepper
- 1 Green Pepper
- 1 can Black Beans
- Green Onions for topping
- Avocado for topping
- Salsa for topping
- Olive Oil
- Salt & pepper we also season with cumin, crushed red pepper, and oregano
Instructions
- Dive the peppers, onions, and peel and chop the sweet potato into small pieces.
- Heat a medium skillet over medium-high and put in a bit of olive oil. Brown the ground turkey (add some spices for flavor) and set it aside in a bowl.
- While that cooks, make the quinoa following the directions on the package. (We usually use about a 1/2 cup in the protein bowl, but make extra to eat for the week.)
- Cook the veggies, starting with the sweet potatoes (cook for 5-7 minutes), then add onions, peppers, and black beans (cook for 3-4 minutes). Finally, add the cauliflower rice, and cook for about 2 minutes.
- When the veggies are done cooking, add the black beans and ground turkey to heat it all up together for a minute. Scoop out a bit of quinoa, add the meat and veggie mixture, and top it with sliced avocados (and some salsa if you want to add some spice!).
