Today I’m guest posting over at Zainab’s blog Blahnik Baker! She has a beautiful baking blog, with small but delicious additions of savoury dishes. I’m sharing this delicious Maple & Lime Quinoa Salad Bowl with BBQ Chickpeas that was a huge part of my lunch and dinner obsession for quite a while. I thought this Maple & Lime Quinoa Bowl with Spicy BBQ Chickpeas was a great addition because it is an insanely delicious bowl meal that can actually be easily made vegan. It’s also gluten-free and basically, perfect for any lunch or dinner that you’re preparing.
The idea came about on one of my quinoa obsessed days aka days that still exact and a pining for a tropical flavour palette. The maple and lime came straight from that, then the avocado and tomatoes. You could always use red bell peppers if you aren’t a fan of tomatoes. Next up? The BBQ chickpeas.
I kind of FELL IN LOVE with BBQ chickpeas after experimenting with them. You get a sticky, spicy and smokey flavour that is pretty much amazing. I had bbq chickpeas for days afterwards. Overall, this meat is really good for you – I’m talking tons of protein, magnesium, fibre, healthy fats…plus you’ll be really full! By the way, if you liked this bowl, you’ll always love these Sun-dried Tomato and Mozzarella Quinoa Burgers!
And these Quinoa Pizza Bites!
