SPICY CASHEW QUINOA CRUNCH SALAD (HIGH PROTEIN MEAL PREP)✨ this hearty, colorful salad comes in at 42g of protein per serving! You’ll get a great diversity of plant nutrients as well as a mix of plant and animal proteins. It’s one of my favorite lunches to prep for busy weeks!

Ingredients:
Spicy Cashews:
1.5 cups raw cashews
1 tablespoon avocado oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
2 tablespoons sriracha
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sea salt
Salad:
1 1/2 cups chicken bone broth
3/4 cup quinoa, rinsed
3 cups cooked chicken, shredded
4 cups shredded green and purple cabbage
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup shelled edamame
1/4 cup green onion
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
Ginger Lime Dressing:
1/3 cup avocado oil
1/4 cup lime juice (approx 2-3 limes)
2 tablespoons reduced sodium tamari
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon sriracha
1 inch piece of ginger, grated
1 clove garlic, grated or ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350ºF.
In a medium bowl, toss the spicy cashew ingredients together and spread out on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through (checking often in the last 5 minutes to ensure they don’t burn). They should be a deep golden brown when they are ready.
In a small saucepan over high heat bring the quinoa, bone broth, and ¼ teaspoon of salt to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Keep it covered and let it rest for a few minutes then fluff with a fork.
While the quinoa and cashews are cooking, whisk together the dressing ingredients in a small bowl.
For meal prep: divide the the ingredients between (5) 32 oz jars, starting with the dressing at the bottom, then the peppers and cabbage, followed by the quinoa, edamame, chicken, cilantro, green onion, and finally the cashews on top!

we're turning my favorite salad into high protein meal prep i like to make this on a sunday to have her lunches throughout the week it's hardy and colorful with diversity of micronutrients so much flavor and contains forty two grams of protein per serving i like to shoot for around forty grams protein at lunch the saab contains both plant and animal protein but you can make it entirely plant-based if one was tofu or another source of plant protein instead of chicken if one of your goals is to eat more protein rich meals for better satiety hormone blood sugar balance and so many other benefits i have an ebook entirely dedicated to high protein recipes into my bios cheers
