Legumes, Seeds, and Greens Meal

+

Simple meal I’ve been enjoying lately..Healthy fats, fiber, complex carbs :)

Serves: 2-3

Ingredients:

1/2 cup uncooked quinoa

1 cup fresh or 1 can garbanzo beans (I used no salt added)

few large handfuls of spinach or other greens

1/2 avocado

few squeezes of lemon juice

hemp seeds (optional)

ground black pepper, to taste

Cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Meanwhile, lightly cook the spinach until tender. Sprinkle with lemon juice (to taste). Lemon aids in iron absorption from spinach :).

Set aside.

Heat up the garbanzo beans (I used same pan as spinach).

Once quinoa is cooked, combine everything and top with avocado slices, hemp seeds and spices. You’re done!

I usually make this and have left overs for the following day or two. So delicious and I feel so good afterwards.
