Ingredients
  

1 cup quinoa (rinsed)

2 cups vegetable broth or water

1 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

1 bell pepper (diced, color of your choice)

1 medium zucchini (sliced into half-moons)

1 cup kale (stems removed and chopped)

1 small red onion (finely diced)

1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (drained and rinsed)

2 avocados (sliced)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs (such as parsley or cilantro for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Quinoa: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes or until the quinoa is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it stand covered for an additional 5 minutes.

    Sauté the Veggies: While the quinoa is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for about 2 minutes until translucent. Then, toss in the bell pepper, zucchini, and kale. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.

      Add Chickpeas: Stir in the drained and rinsed chickpeas and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing everything to heat through. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the quinoa is ready, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables and chickpeas. Drizzle in the lemon juice and stir well to combine all the flavors.

          Assemble the Bowls: Divide the quinoa and veggie mixture into serving bowls. Top each bowl with sliced avocado and sprinkle with fresh herbs for an added flavor boost.

            Serve: Enjoy the bowls warm, and feel free to customize with your favorite toppings like nuts, seeds, or a dollop of your favorite sauce!
