This is a quick, healthy version of quinoa bowls that comes together in a snap and is chock full of protein, vegetables and fiber.
Equipment
- Microwave
- Cutting board
- Sharp Pairing Knife

Instructions
- Dump cooked lentils and quinoa into a microwave or oven safe bowl. Gently stir and reheat using your favorite method: microwave, oven, stovetop, etc.
- Steam the bag of brocolli in the microwave according to the instructions on the package. Should take approximately 3-4 minutes on high. Let rest for a minute.
- Meanwhile, wash and chop avocados into little chunks.
- Combine all ingredients into large bowl and gently mix together.
- Serve by itself or with a dollop of mild salsa or some shredded paremsan cheese.
Notes
Note, for small children, you may find it helpful to chop the broccoli into smaller pieces after steaming but before mixing into the rest of the ingredients.
