Protein Power Bowl

Made this one for dinner last night/lunch today!  I did half of the recipe since it normally makes SIX servings!!  Below is my half recipe.  Got this from Oh She Glows!

1c. chopped asparagus
1 can chickpeas
1c. uncooked quinoa
1/2 diced sweet onion
1 tbsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
salt and pepper to taste
basalmic dressing to taste
1/2 c. sunflower seeds
2 tbsp chia seeds

First cook up the quinoa.  Boil 2 cups of water with 1 cup quinoa and simmer until cooked.  While thats cooking, chop up your onion and asparagus


Sautee onion in olive oil with garlic until transparent.  Add asparagus and continue to sautee with salt and pepper.

Once the asparagus and onion is cooked, add some balsalmic vinegar.  I love this one from We Olive in Ventura, CA
Now just bring it all together!  Start with the quinoa, then layer on the asparagus and onion sauté, chickpeas, sunflower seeds, and chia.  I drizzled some more balsamic on before I mixed it all up!
