Spinach Mushroom Quinoa Bowl

Now that we’ve officially made it through the first week of April, I’m full of hope that we’re officially done with winter and onto spring. Easter has come and gone and the weather is slowly starting to get better.

Since Easter is sometimes early in the year, and other times later, I feel like it almost falls on the cusp of winter. Know what I mean? But since that holiday has passed, I’m reminded of the upcoming warmer holidays — Memorial Day, 4th of July — so maybe I’m stretching it just a little, but, you get my drift, right?

I’m also loving the fresh veggies that arrives with the warmer weather. Asparagus, green beans and spinach almost seem to taste better in the spring. I’ve been trying to cook with more greens lately and I’m happy to report that I’m staying on track!

Which leads me to this dish: Spinach and Mushroom Quinoa Bowls! It’s been a while since I made a quinoa dish to share with you, so I figured I was long overdue! And because I love creating new flavor combinations, I was ready for the challenge.

This easy quinoa bowl recipe is perfect for a light lunch or dinner and suitable as a vegetarian dish, too. Ready in less than 30 minutes, spinach quinoa bowl will keep you full, satisfied, and on the healthy track.

Ingredients for Quinoa Veggie Bowls 

To make the healthy quinoa bowls, you’ll need the following ingredients: 

  • Quinoa 
  • Chicken broth
  • Unsalted butter
  • Mushrooms
  • Spinach 
  • Chickpeas 
  • Parmesan cheese
  • White balsamic vinegar
  • Olive oil
  • Garlic powder
  • Italian seasoning 
  • Black pepper

How to Make a Quinoa Veggie Bowl

  1. Start out by cooking the quinoa in some chicken broth. 
  2. As the quinoa is cooking, sauté the mushrooms, followed by the spinach.
  3. Toss the veggies in with the quinoa and add in some chickpeas.
  4. To coat these healthy quinoa bowls , combine a light dressing of olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and pepper. Pour this over the quinoa mixture and these bowls are ready to be devoured!

Light, healthy, and full of fresh veggies, this quinoa bowl with spinach and mushroom is delicious and nutritious. It also serves as easy lunch or dinner throughout the week. Simply make, refrigerate, and then divide into portions and your meal is ready for the next few days.

How Long Does Cooked Quinoa Last? 

Once cooked, the plain quinoa will last about 1 week in the fridge so feel free to prep it in advance and assemble the bowls later. Once the bowl have been prepped, they’ll last up to 5 days in the fridge. 

Can I Use Different Veggies?

Of course! The best part is that this bowl is so versatile! If you don’t like spinach, feel free to swap it out with kale, or leave it out entirely. Or, add in your favorite veggies to bulk it up more.

Tips for Making Quinoa Bowls

  • Not sure how to season quinoa? My trick is to cook it in a little chicken or veggie broth for added flavor! This gives it a little more flavor than just using water. However, you can use vegetable broth or water if you prefer.
  • If cooking the quinoa in broth, I recommend using a low-sodium version so your quinoa veggie bowls aren’t too salty. 
  • I prefer using fresh veggies in this recipe, but you can experiment with frozen veggies if that’s what you have on hand.

    Yum! What a great combo of flavors. I went through a quinoa obsessed stage but I haven’t made it in way too long… need to break it out again! Thanks for the inspiration. 🙂

    Mushroom and spinach are a perfect combination. I love the added chick peas! Grats to you for keeping on track as well. Pinning for my family.

    This sounds absolutely wonderful. I follow the Trim Healthy Mama way of eating. Can you tell me the carb and fat content per serving? Thank you.

      So glad you like this, Helen! I do not know any nutritional information, since I am not qualified in that area. There are many nutritional calculators you can find online to help with that. Thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Gayle
    I made this tonight and it was delicious! One question. How much is a serving size? On your nutrition values you have a serving as 1g. I’m assuming that means 1 gram. Is that correct?

      Hi Lori! I’m so glad you liked this! I updated the serving size, it should’ve said just ‘1’ as in one serving, not gram. Thanks for pointing that out!

    In my opinion, the proportions are off in this recipe. There was way too much quinoa for the amount of veggies—and I even doubled the spinach. I added salt but it was still pretty bland.

      I’m sorry to hear that, Louise! This does serve 5 people, so it does make a lot.

    I prepared this recipe as a side dish and absolutely loved it. Looking for a higher protein breakfast, I sautéed about 1/3 cup, scrambled an egg with a little onion powder, salt, pepper and broke up a slice of American cheese. I have new favorite breakfast!!! Scrumptious and satisfying! Thank you for posting!

    Great, nutritious recipe that was easy to make. I added tofu for some extra protein. I’ll definitely make this again.

    This is good and easy. I used homemade vegetable broth that was unsalted so I did add some salt to taste. I also had a zucchini on hand that was going to go to waste so I also used that. I did not have white balsamic vinegar on hand so I used regular and the taste was fine. One major change I made was the amount of dressing I put on. I don’t like things too “dressingy” so the amount I put on was just a bit more than 1/2 of the amount in the recipe. For us that was fine.
