I’ve got a vegan meal prep superfood bowl recipe that’s fast and easy … and, believe it or not, it uses convenience foods! 

If you know me, you know I love to cook once and eat at least twice! This recipe fits the bill. In just a few minutes, you can have four healthy meals ready to go for lunch or dinner!

Want to add more protein? To keep it vegan, add a few cubes of seasoned tofu like these Nasoya Plantspired Toss’ables. For an omnivore option, just add 3-4 ounces of cubed rotisserie or grilled chicken to each serving. 

NOTE: You don’t have to rely on the convenience food option. Just cook the ingredients ahead of time, and assemble your superfood bowl when it’s mealtime.

Meal Prep Vegan Superfood Bowl

(makes 4 servings)

• 8 oz package of microwavable quinoa (or 2 cups cooked)
• ½ cup of hummus
• 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 5 oz package baby spinach, rinsed
• 8 oz  package cooked refrigerated baby beets (from the produce section)
• 1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
• 1 avocado (slice right before eating)
• ¼ cup unsalted toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)

Prepare the quinoa according to the package directions.

While the quinoa cools, make the dressing: whisk together the hummus and lemon juice. If it’s too thick, just drizzle in a few drops of water to thin it out to your desired consistency. Set the dressing aside.

Divide the spinach among four reusable containers. Add a quarter of the quinoa, beets, edamame, and pepitas to each container. 

When you’re ready to eat, top each serving with ¼ of the hummus dressing and toss well before adding ¼ of the avocado slices.

Serve and enjoy!
