THE GLOW UP POWER BOWL

INGREDIENTS:

1/4 cup (60 ml) GARLIC OLIVE OIL
2 tablespoons GLAZED ONION BALSAMIC VINEGAR
1 tbsp KICKIN’ GARLIC
1 cup (170 g) quinoa, rinsed
2 cups (480 ml) vegetable broth
1 cup (150 g) cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup (150 g) cucumber, diced
1 cup (100 g) cooked chickpeas
1/4 cup (30 g) crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional for extra nutrition)
1/2 avocado, sliced

DIRECTIONS:

Cook the Quinoa:

In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add quinoa, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender. Remove from heat and fluff with a fork.

Prepare the Vegetables and Chickpeas:

In a large bowl, toss the halved cherry tomatoes, diced cucumber, and cooked chickpeas with GARLIC OLIVE OIL, GLAZED ONION BALSAMIC VINEGAR, and KICKIN’ GARLIC. Stir until everything is well coated.

Assemble the Power Bowl:

Divide the cooked quinoa between 2 bowls. Top with the vegetable and chickpea mixture, crumbled feta cheese, sliced avocado, and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. For an added boost, sprinkle chia or flax seeds on top.
Serve and Enjoy:
Drizzle a little extra GARLIC OLIVE OIL and GLAZED ONION BALSAMIC VINEGAR over the top if you want a bit more flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, nutrient-packed bowl!
