Spicy Chickpea and Quinoa Bowls (Meal Prep) — This recipe is great for meal prep because although it’s a meatless dish, it is extremely filling! I seriously can’t stress enough the amount of flavor in these chickpeas…sautéed onion and garlic mixed with tomatoes, cumin and red pepper flakes all simmered together and topped with fresh cilantro.

Instructions
- To make quinoa, rinse and soak for about 10 minutes in warm water. Bring 2 cups of vegetable broth to a boil in a small saucepan, drain quinoa and add to boiling broth.
