Quinoa Macro Bowl with Roasted Pepper Sauce
Macro bowls are the “choose your own adventure” of fresh and delicious eating. Similar to a rice bowl, these bowls start with quinoa as the base, then you add sauteed chicken, making them even more protein-packed. Macrobiotics is a way of eating that's all about eating seasonally, mindfully and cleanly. Balancing the protein with bell pepper, spinach and avocado then adding fresh lemon, these Macro Bowls make it easy to eat well.
