Hello, Happy Tuesday!
This week is finals week, music recitals, and finishing up classes. With all of that, time to make and prepare meals is a luxury I don’t have (soon I will, summer is coming!). So, quick and easy lunch options are my go-to. The problem is, so many quick options are not the most nutritious, which is why I’m bringing to you this 20 minute Chickpea-Veggie Curry to satisfy you all of the way until dinner!
While it may look like there are a lot of ingredients in this recipe, most of them are just veggies. What is amazing about this recipe is you do not have to use all of the veggies I have listed, and you can add your other favorites! I used carrots, peas, mushrooms, zuchinni, and broccoli, but any 3-5 veggies will work!
Ok, now that I’ve said my spiel, let’s get onto the recipe!

Notes
*use whatever veggies you love!
**prep quinoa ahead of time and have it in your fridge, it eliminates the extra step of cooking it!
