Instructions

Cook quinoa according to package instructions if not already cooked. Set aside to cool slightly.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sauté spinach until wilted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
In the same skillet, quickly warm the cooked chicken breast (or tofu) and black beans until heated through, about 2-3 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Arrange cooked quinoa as the base in a large bowl. Top neatly with sautéed spinach, warmed chicken and black beans, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes.
Sprinkle pumpkin seeds over the bowl. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and squeeze lemon juice over everything. Finish with a final pinch of salt and pepper.
Serve immediately and enjoy your balanced, protein- and fiber-rich power bowl.
