Description

A wholesome berry bliss bowl loaded with quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, fresh berries, and a zesty lime dressing.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup quinoa, rinsed
2 cups water or low-sodium vegetable broth
2 medium sweet potatoes, cubed (about 2 cups)
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1 ripe avocado, sliced
2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
¼ cup toasted sliced almonds
2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (optional)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
¼ teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

Start by rinsing the quinoa thoroughly under cold water to remove its natural saponin coating, which can leave a bitter taste. Place the rinsed quinoa in a saucepan, add the water or vegetable broth, and bring to a boil.
While the quinoa cooks, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) until tender and lightly browned, about 20-25 minutes.
Once the quinoa is cooked and fluffy, and the sweet potatoes are roasted, assemble the bowls. Divide the quinoa evenly among serving bowls, then top with roasted sweet potatoes, fresh berries, avocado slices, and baby spinach or mixed greens.
Sprinkle each bowl with toasted sliced almonds and, if desired, crumbled feta cheese for added flavor and texture.
To prepare the dressing, whisk together extra-virgin olive oil, honey or maple syrup, lime juice, and sea salt until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the assembled bowls, then gently toss everything together just before serving to evenly coat all the ingredients.
Finish each bowl with an extra squeeze of lime for brightness, and if you like a touch of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to taste. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

For a vegan version, omit the feta cheese. Use water instead of vegetable broth to keep it lighter. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
