If you're like us and like to have a plan for the upcoming week, check out this super easy meal prep idea. We kept ours veggie but we recommend adding a serving of ground chicken or turkey to increase the protein per serving! We whipped up the quinoa mix in the Instant Pot and it was so quick and easy. Hope this inspires you to get planning a little early for next week.
