This nutrient-packed grain bowl recipe comes together in 15 minutes with the help of a few convenience-food shortcuts like prewashed baby kale, microwavable quinoa and precooked beets. Pack these ahead to keep on hand for easy meal-prep lunches or dinners on busy nights.

Prep/Cook Time: 15 Minutes, Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • 1 8-ounce pouch microwavable quinoa
  • ½ cup hummus
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 5-ounce package baby kale
  • 1 8-ounce package refrigerated cooked whole baby beets, sliced
  • 1 cup frozen shelled edamame, thawed
  • 1 medium avocado, sliced
  • ¼ cup unsalted toasted sunflower seeds

Directions

  1. Prepare quinoa according to package directions; set aside to cool.
  2. Combine hummus and lemon juice in a small bowl. Thin with water to desired dressing consistency. Divide the dressing among 4 small condiment containers with lids and refrigerate.
