Do you guys have an Instant Pot? It is my all time favorite kitchen gadget right now. Honestly, I can’t rant enough about my Instant Pot in terms of how helpful it’s been with meal prep. You literally dump everything in, cook 1 minute (not including the time it all comes to pressure) and then divide it all up.

Plan your week’s recipes and include this wonderful Quinoa Burrito Bowl
I love meal planning, not to mention meal prepping. It’s just something I have done since I learned cooking from my mom and its a habit now. It eases out the pain of evening dinner and planning for a lunchbox. I would plan meals for our family for five days or one week at a time. I learned the value of dedicating quality time to meal planning for one full week at a time. It takes some effort to plan a menu, but once you have it and grocery list, your mornings and evenings are less stressed. NO more making quick runs and asking hubby to get stuff from the grocery store ;) This bowl checks all those boxes. Everything cooks together in the Instant Pot. Portion it into the container of your choice. Top with all of the best things. And that’s it. You’re done! We’re talking 15 minutes start to finish and your fridge is stocked with healthy lunches for the week. BOOM. The flexibility of this recipe makes it extra budget-friendly!

Quinoa Burrito bowl is a freezer friendly recipe
Yes, absolutely. This easy takeout dish would be great for Sunday meal prep. To cut down on time: The best part about these “bowls?” You can turn them into tacos or wraps – even collard wraps to keep it light or you can eat them with tortilla chips. Serving them in a gettogether on that mini tortilla scoop chips is another way to spice it up. You can easily customize this Instant pot Quinoa burrito bowl. You don’t have a certain veggie on hand? Don’t let it STOP you! Dump in some other veggie or whatever you have on hand already works. If you keep a well-stocked pantry and freezer like I do you are good to GO! I always keep my pantry stocked up with black beans/ kidney beans/ chickpeas. I always have Corn and Peas in my freezer so I am already halfway to dinner
