This amazingly flavorful quinoa hummus protein power bowl could not have come at a better time. With my love for a hummus recipe easy enough to whip together in minutes, today is my, and YOUR, lucky day!OK, so seriously, we have a blizzard warning and are about to get pounded with over a foot (maybe even 1.5 feet zomg) of snow and howling winds and I am crazy excited. But since I know I am going to be housebound tomorrow, I had a lot to do today.
Enter, the easiest hummus recipe around.
I threw this thing together in literal minutes, because it contains so many things that I already have in abundance around the house.- Hardboiled Eggs
- Cooked Quinoa
- Hummus
- Seeds
- Produce
- Stuff For a Simple Dressing
At the beginning of the week, I always prep a bunch of easy things, like quinoa and rice, hardboiled eggs, and roasted veggies. That way I can just pack them up, pop them in the fridge, and pull them out when I need them.If you aren’t already doing that, you should. It is a literal life-saver.
The fun thing about this protein power bowl is that you could essentially put whatever you want in it and it would still taste fan-freaking-tastic.
Got some avocado? YES. Zucchini? YES. Roasted sweet potato? Oh HELLO DELICIOUS.
You could even swap out the chickpeas for kidney or cannellini beans. Easy peasy.I threw together some dressing in one of these adorable tulip jars that I used for the panna cotta, then drizzled it all over my power bowl and just devoured it. Because I have stuff to do, like right meow.
So if you’re a fan of a hummus recipe easy enough to throw together in a bowl and go, then you know I have you covered.
If you have more time on your hands, be sure to try out my winter hummus bowl, which I am certain you will love just as much as this one!
