I’ve had some requests for more quick & easy lunch ideas.
As you know, I believe the secret to being consistent with your healthy living goals is to make it easy. And what is easier than a quick and easy no mess, no fuss meal that you toss in a bowl with foods you already have in your kitchen.
If you prep all the ingredients the night before, or even better use leftovers from dinner-you can quickly throw a bowl together and get out the door! These lunch bowls are delish and you can put them together in 5-10 minutes.
2 easy, healthy and super tasty one bowl lunches.

1/4 cup Quinoa (cooked)

Lemon tahini dressing
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic minced*
- 2-3 tablespoons water
- sea salt to taste
Directions
Add lemon, tahini, olive oil, garlic and 1 tbs water to a bowl. Whisk ingredients together. Continue adding water until you reach desired consistency. Add sea salt, whisk until combined.
*I like to use a microplane to mince the garlic. You can also use a garlic press or mince the garlic with a knife.
