HIGH-PROTEIN MEDI BOWL (Meal-Prep)
5 steps
Prep:20minCook:20min
This High-Protein Medi Bowl is such an easy and tasty meal prep! We start by making the tofu, which is similar to the herby Lemon Tofu we’ve made previously, but a little quicker, and serve it with a tabbouleh-inspired quinoa salad. It’s super nourishing and packs 35g of protein and 12mg of iron. This one is a little on the lower side calorie-wise (the full nutrition info is always available on our website), so if you want to bulk it more, I would recommend adding more quinoa and topping it up with some avocado, hemp seeds or other nuts and seeds.
This one keeps for 3 days, if you want to keep it for longer, do not mix the salad and instead layer in the following order: olive oil, lemon, lentils, quinoa, cucumber, tomatoes, spring onions, parsley, mint, and cooked tofu.
Option to add a couple of spoons of yogurt (I use soy) if you want to make it extra creamy; it goes so well with the flavors!
