Quinoa lunch bowl with shrimp and bacon

Quinoa lunch bowl 

It's been 70 days of clean eating and like everyone else we like variety 

and there are only so many ways to make a salad exciting. So we decided to try and make Quinoa bowl out of things we already had on hand and it turned out great ! We'll definitely be having this again.

What you'll need 

4 cups spinach 

1 portabella mushroom (large)

1/2 onion chopped

 tsp minced garlic 

2 pieces of turkey bacon Applegate brand or uncured Trader Joe's is clean 

1 ounce of shrimp 

1/2 Quinoa 

1 cup chicken broth 

1 avacado 

Cook the Quinoa in the chicken broth as directed on the package

 I ended up having to add a little more broth.

Saute the onions and spinach in coconut oil add the onions first when those are nearly ready add the shrimp,  spinach, mushrooms and garlic. Add the cooked Quinoa to the sauteed veggies season with sea salt.

Measure out equal servings into two bowls.

Cook the turkey bacon in the microwave. 

Half the avocado and cube.

Each bowl gets one slice of crumbled bacon and one half of the avocado give them a good stir.

ENJOY !

Believe it or not this big bowl of yumminess only came up to around 440 calories 

My husband added an apple and I added 1/2 grapefruit to get this lunch up to the 500 calorie mark.

You can find the Quinoa, organic chicken broth, and precooked shrimp at Costco.
