Quinoa Bowl with Mung Beans and Poached Egg

Quinoa Bowl with Mung Beans and Poached Egg

Seed or grain-based bowls have become a staple for anyone looking for a nutrient dense and filling meal that covers all the bases: proteins, carbs, vitamins and minerals.

The concept of the bowl is pretty simple – set your seeds or grains as the base, add any ingredients you like or have on hand over top and toss in a tasty dressing!

We went with a vegetarian bowl with our recipe, that can be easily be made vegan by skipping the poached eggs, and used quinoa and mung beans to fulfil our protein component. Shiitake and oyster mushrooms add an additional “meaty” flavor, while carrots, broccoli and onions add a welcome punch of color and essential vitamins and minerals.

Tie it all together with a zingy honey mustard vinaigrette and you’ve got an easy to prepare meal that great to have on the go or prepare ahead of time for the work week.
