This easy Quinoa Bowl features sweet potatoes, arugula, diced apple, feta, roasted pecans then topped with honey dijon vinaigrette for an amazing, healthy meal.

Quinoa Power Bowl - Sweet potatoes, arugula, diced apple, red quinoa, feta, roasted pecans topped with honey dijon vinaigrette.

At first glance, this may sound like a strange combination. But please trust me when I tell you that this quinoa bowl is a culinary explosion of flavors in your mouth!

For extra protein, I added diced chicken too. You can swap that out for chickpeas to keep it a vegan option.  This Garlic Shrimp and Quinoa is another amazing, healthy bowl to try.

Another bonus is that you can have all these ingredients prepped and ready to go in advance. I pretty much always have chicken (or turkey) and sweet potatoes (or butternut squash) in the refrigerator daily. I make a big batch of quinoa that lasts several days. So just having the other ingredients handy and mixing up the dressing is all you have to do.

There are many substitutions you can do in these quinoa bowls. Goat cheese for the feta, almonds for the pecans, spinach for the arugula, butternut squash for the sweet potatoes.
