Mushroom Spinach Quinoa
You will fall in love with this simple Mushroom Spinach Quinoa recipe! Perfect for a healthy lunch, served as a side dish at the dinner table, or as a meal prep with your favorite protein. Cooked and ready to serve in under 20 minutes, it doesn't get much easier than this!
I will admit that most of my favorite meals are some sort of sautéed veggie and quinoa.
I have my old roomie and dear friend Aubrey to thank for this one. She makes a great quinoa bowl and totally got me hooked. Since learning about quinoa bowls, I've experimented with all kinds of different combinations.
Most come out good (you can't really go wrong) but this recipe I'm sharing today came out like, really good.
The best part of this dish is that it tastes better the next day. So I usually make quite a bit and eat it over the course of a few days. The recipe can also be halved if you’d like… easy peasy.
If you’re making this recipe as a side for a party or a dinner, I would recommend not halving it. It goes pretty quickly, and like I said before, it’s really tasty as leftovers!
Give this simple Mushroom Spinach Quinoa a try. I know you’re going to love it!
BTW - I love topping mine with baked tofu or teriyaki tempeh. Don’t be afraid to get creative :)
Okay, I’m outta here!
