Let’s explore one of my favorite Meatless Monday Easy Meal Prep options
Today I’m sharing a Meatless Monday Easy Meal Prep option? Broccoli quinoa with miso dressing is a quick and healthy option.
I get it we’re all busy in so many different facets of our life. We often arrive to meals without any advance planning. So I thought I might share something that can be prepped in less than 5 minutes.
Since, it is #meatlessmonday, I’m going to share a couple of time saving tips from our household.
First step is to batch cook quinoa.
Second step is to batch prep vegetables.
Third step is to have a sauce or dressing that you love and plan to use that you know that you will enjoy every time.
If you would like to learn more about how I use batch cooking of quinoa, hop over here. I find this to be a versatile and easy solution of getting meals together quickly.
Broccoli is nutrient dense
Doing these three things makes meal time so so much easier when you are short on time and hungry!
It does take a little advance planning however if you take time to cook a batch of quinoa and prep veggies on one day, you can have meals for several days in a row. And we all know how useful that can be in the midst of all the other demands on your time.

Cook your quinoa (2:1 ratio depending on the batch). I like to rinse the quinoa first.
Steam broccoli in steamer insert for 5 min.
Mix together remaining ingredients for sauce.
Can serve with baked tofu or tempeh if desired (though the quinoa is great protein source).
