  • Add Protein: For added protein, consider adding a poached egg, grilled chicken, or chickpeas.
  • Make It Spicy: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce to bring some heat to the dish.
  • Meal Prep: The base (quinoa or couscous) and vegetables can be prepped ahead of time and stored separately in the fridge. Simply assemble the bowl when ready to eat.
