This bowl is pure magic in a dish. I created it during one of those “what’s in the fridge” moments, and it’s become a family favorite. My daughters actually request this for lunch now!

 

Why it works as a natural alternative to Mounjaro: The combination of chickpeas, quinoa, and olive oil creates a perfect storm of protein, fiber, and healthy fats that’ll keep you satisfied for hours.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 can chickpeas, drained and roasted
  • 2 cups mixed greens
  • 1/2 cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup kalamata olives
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss chickpeas with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes until crispy.
  2. While chickpeas roast, prepare your quinoa according to package directions.
  3. Whisk together remaining olive oil, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper for dressing.
  4. Arrange greens in a large bowl, top with quinoa, roasted chickpeas, cucumber, tomatoes, onion, and olives.
  5. Drizzle with dressing and top with feta cheese.

Notes

  • This bowl keeps beautifully in the fridge for meal prep. Just keep the dressing separate until ready to eat!
