Quinoa and Stir Fried Veggies Bowl {Vegan, Gluten Free Recipe}

This stir-fried veggie quinoa bowl is full of healthy veggies, protein-packed grain and crunchy flavors.

When I have to cook something fast, I usually grab a cup of quinoa. We love quinoa, because is healthy, gluten free, full of protein and also cooks very quick (in about 15 minutes a cup of quinoa is ready to be served). Quinoa goes so well with any kind of veggies, however the vegetables are prepared (roasted, stir-fried or fresh), they make a filling and tasty dish.

This quinoa bowl is very easy to toss together: Stir-fry your favorite veggies, season them, then stir together with cooked quinoa and drizzle your dish with a little lemon juice. Ta da, your dinner is ready!

Quinoa gives this dish tons of protein and paired with all these healthy veggies, makes acolorful and flavorful meal, that can be served as a healthy lunch, dinner, picnic or party food, or side dish to any meal. Plus this quinoa bowl is #vegan and #glutenfree too!
