I have plenty of fiber-rich meals that I like, but thisRoasted Chickpea Curry Bowlis by far my favorite.

With 10 grams of fiber per serving, its as satisfying as it is delicious.

You may have heard that most people dont consume enough fiber.

Most Americans (as inroughly 95%) fall short of that recommendation.

Why does this matter?

While those ingredients are roasting (and developing flavor), cook up somequinoa.

Take the quinoa off the heat, then add 4 cups of chopped baby spinach.

Toss it all together for a delicious, satisfying meal.

Or, consider buying frozen, precooked quinoa to save even more time.

Finally, you’ve got the option to also make the dressing in advance.

It will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.

you might also portion into lunch containers, making it an easy grab-and-go lunch option for work or school.

The Bottom Line

To me, a delicious, satisfying lunch starts with plenty of plant-based fiber.
