1 cup Bell Peppers Adds vibrant color; feel free to use whatever colors you have on hand.
1 cup Cherry Tomatoes Provides a sweet pop; grape tomatoes can be an excellent substitute.
2 cups Fresh Spinach For that leafy goodness; kale works too if preferred.

Grilling Protein

Season chicken breast with salt and pepper, then grill until fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side).
Grill shrimp until pink and opaque, which should take about 3-4 minutes.

In a bowl, combine cooked quinoa, grilled chicken, shrimp, sliced bell peppers, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh spinach.
Top with toasted almonds and optional feta cheese.
Drizzle with olive oil before serving.

Tip: Cooking should be fun, not a chore. Remember, cooking together can transform the stress of meal prep into memorable moments.
