Substitutions

• Cooked Rice - One of the most apparent substitutions for this Avocado Quinoa Bowl can be cooked rice. Whether you prefer brown rice or white you can definitely replace it in place of quinoa.
• Add Veggies - Add Cucumbers, Red Onions, or thinly sliced Jalapenõs or heirloom tomatoes while making this Avocado Quinoa rice bowl.

Storage

Thinking about storing this for some time else? You can allow this Avocado rice bowl to cool down to room temperature. Wrap it tightly with saran wrap or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for two to three days. I don't recommend freezing this recipe since the quinoa would turn mushy and won't taste as good.
