Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls!

Vegan | 05.18.17

Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls

You guys, turmeric has my HEART these days! I keep finding myself putting it in everything, especially in quinoa. It’s so good for you, and it tastes amazing! Combine that turmeric quinoa with fresh kale, turmeric roasted potatoes, paprika roasted chickpeas, and a delicious avocado for the most epic Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls!

If you’ve never tried turmeric, this is the kind of turmeric that I personally use and love. It has a warm and peppery type of flavor and is also bright yellow (hellllloooo, natural food dye!). I was actually a little concerned after using this in my brand new bowls that I had permanently stained them, because it looked like I had taken a highlighter and marked all over them! No worries, though, it totally washes away 😉 Unless it gets on your clothes in which case……tye dye?? Just being positive over here, guys.

Here’s how to make these Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls in 30 minutes or less!

No but for real, turmeric is legit, y’all. It’s a natural anti-inflammatory (and a powerful one, might I add) that also protects against a ton of diseases (6 Benefits Of Turmeric listed here) and is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber! Heck-to-the-yes. I’ll take that!

Not to mention, it makes these Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls taste heavenly! Savory, creamy, wholesome, crunchy, warm, and spicy, to be exact. And my description is not even doing these bowls justice!

This recipe makes 4 delicious bowls. If you don’t have 4 people to feed, they’re great for lunch leftovers!

A few notes about how these Vegan Turmeric Quinoa Power Bowls came to be:

  • In the recipe below I said to use 1 Tbsp of coconut oil, but I actually used this Coconut Oil Spray and lightly coated the potatoes before I roasted them. I recommend going this route because it’ll coat them evenly, but melting and drizzling coconut oil works great too! 😉
  • Feel free to add more turmeric if you’re feelin’ it!
  • And on that note, be sure to add sea salt/pepper to your desired taste to the quinoa and roasted potatoes!
  • If you’re looking for an easy approach to preparing quinoa, check out our post How To Cook Quinoa Perfectly Every Time.

    Would this be ok to make and take as lunches for a few days for work? I wouldn’t cut the avocado though until I’m ready to eat it.

    I find that adding turmeric to meatballs (if a meateater) is fantastic. but it would add a lovely morrocan feel to vegan ones. I am addicted to chickpeas and quinoa, I like garlic roasted chickpeas, paprika quinoa, I have just started using buckwheat so I will be adding turmeric to that. I’m not vegan but I do like eating more basic ingredient meals especially since having an ileostomy fitted I figured eating more veggie based meals would help discourage blockages as the remaining intestine would be getting used to the digestion of vegetables.
