Place the water in a microwave-safe bowl, and microwave for 3 minutes or until boiling. Once boiled, add quinoa and cover with a plate so that the quinoa rises. Place the spinach, garbanzo beans, lentils, and tomato together in the bowl with the quinoa. Add a pinch of salt, garlic powder, and a dash of paprika. Finish with low-moisture shredded cheese, if desired.
This is a great, hearty dish that serves as a nice substitute for pasta. Quinoa is gluten-free and loaded with protein -- the Aztecs actually harvested it for their long journeys through the mountains because it was so densely packed with nutrients. You might not be preparing for a three-day trek, but quinoa is one way to make sure you never run out of fuel, and it's quick and easy, too!
