Ingredients

– 2 cups water
– 1 grilled chicken breast
– 150g cubed tofu
– 1 medium diced bell pepper

– 2 cups fresh spinach
– ½ an avocado
– 1 tablespoon olive oil

– 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
– 1 tablespoon cilantro

Instructions
1. Cook the Quinoa: Start by cooking the rinsed quinoa with 2 cups of water in a covered pot. Simmer for about 15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Fluff the quinoa with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Prepare the Protein: Grill or sauté your choice of protein. For chicken breast, cook approximately 6–8 minutes per side until fully cooked through. For tofu, sear the cubes in a hot pan until golden brown on all sides.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: Chop the bell pepper, zucchini, and fresh spinach. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive or avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the bell pepper and zucchini for 5–7 minutes, then add spinach in the last minute to wilt.
4. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the cooked quinoa, sautéed vegetables, and grilled protein. Add fresh lemon or lime juice, chopped herbs, salt, pepper, and additional spices to taste.
5. Plate and Garnish: Serve the mixed Mounjaro topped with avocado slices, a sprinkle of nuts or seeds, and optionally a pinch of smoked paprika for added flavor and color.
