A vegan curried superfood bowl made with zesty bean quinoa, onions, potatoes, mixed bell peppers, and peas. It’s easy, flavourful and delicious!
I’m finding myself cooking more and more vegan meals nowadays, as vegan food is lighter and nourishing and it can be very delicious if you know how to cook it. I’m not a vegan nor a vegetarian, but I enjoy eating vegan meals a few times a week. So for the month of January I’ve decided to have more vegan days to follow the month of “Veganuary”, they are days when I only eat plant-based foods to feel lighter and healthier, and this vegan curried superfood bowl is one of the wonderful dishes that I’ve been making over and over again!
What I love about this recipe is that not only it’s extremely easy to make, but it’s also flavourful and full of vitamins and good stuff. To make these healthy vegan meals, I stock up on lots of frozen veg from Iceland Foods. They offer a wide range of convenient frozen foods that are suitable for vegan cooking.
I always make sure that I’m stocked up on the frozen diced onions and mixed bell peppers, they are frozen for freshness and they make my life much easier! I never have to worry about fresh bell peppers sitting in my fridge and are about to go off, to have to peel and dice an onion every time I’m about to cook.
I also recently discovered the zesty bean quinoa from Iceland Foods, and I fell in love with this product! I literally now have 3 bags of this in my freezer. I love how convenient, simple and nutritious this quinoa is. It’s frozen which makes storing and preparing it very convenient, I either heat up a portion in the microwave or just stir fry it quickly on the stove top. The best part? It tastes great and you don’t need to add anything to it! I paired this quinoa with curried vegetables and coconut milk and it turned out wonderful. So that’s it, a vegan superfood dinner is sorted in under 25 minutes!
Have you been eating more vegan meals throughout the month of January? What have you been making?

What a fantastic quicky, healthy and yummy looking meal! Frozen food are so convenient.
Diana
I really prefer frozen foods to fresh ingredients now as it’s much more convenient to cook with them.
Julie
Such a nice combination of flavors. I eat vegetarian and look for ways to get protein in. Quinoa always a good choice.
Diana
Quinoa is amazing, I like adding it to my salads, veg bowls and even porridge!
Debra C.

I try to add lots of vegan food into my diet too! I can’t seem to stay organized well enough to be totally vegan- I just can’t seem to get enough protein (although I’m sure it’s possible!). So I add in fish and feel a lot better that way!
This sounds so tasty- what a great weeknight dinner!!!
Diana
I know what you mean, I also love fish and wouldn’t wanna go completely vegan. But having a couple of vegan days every week makes me feel good!
Sarah
I’m always looking for new meatless recipe to try…this one looks and sounds amazing!!
Diana
Enjoy it Sarah!

I’m also not a vegan or vegetarian, but I do love eating such food! If I had a bigger freezer, I would also have no hesitation to cook more with frozen vegetables. They would make getting dinner on the table just a bit faster!

I love to eat vegan some of the time, too! Honestly, I’ve gone entirely vegan in the past and found that for me personally, my body does better with meat and dairy in my diet (in moderation). I would say about 70% of my meals are vegan or at least vegetarian, and that’s where my body feels its best.
I would be all over a bowl of those curried vegetables right about now! And I’ll have to keep my eye out for those bags of Iceland Foods veggies — what a time saver!
Diana
I don’t think that I can become a completely vegetarian or vegan, as I love fish, poultry and meat but I like to have a couple of meat free days every week. I would say that about 50% of my days are meat free, and it works very well for me too. Iceland stock a great range of frozen foods, the quality is excellent and they’re very convenient to cook with.
Christine
What a beautiful delicious bowl this is. I also consume many vegan meals every week. It’s a great way to get the fruits and veggies in!
Diana
Thank you Christine! It’s great to do meat free days or vegan days at least a couple of days a week.

I’m with you on eating vegan or veggie without committing to it full time. I do that too. I didn’t know Iceland did ready cooked quinoa in the freezer section! I haven’t been in years, but now I am thinking I’ll have to go see what else they stock. Lovely recipe I would really enjoy eating.
Diana
I don’t think that I can commit to eating vegan or vegetarian full time, but I like to be vegan a few days a week! You should check out the zesty bean quinoa as it’s sooo good!

Just the sort of healthy comfort food that I am currently craving.
