Quinoa Chickpea Buddha Bowl

Quinoa Chickpea Buddha Bowl with Zucchini & Bok Choy

I stir-fried cooked chickpeas with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Drizzled tahini-lemon dressing on top and this quickly became my fav nourish/buddha bowl. 🙂

It’s incredibly easy (although not the quickest recipe), so filling and super delicious!

Let’s go!
