Copycat First Watch Quinoa Power Bowl

I love the First Watch Quinoa Power Bowl. I have been working on a Copycat version and this is close!  I hope you enjoy it as much I do.  Now that I can make it at home I save lots of money too!  I like to serve it with a fresh lemon and squeeze over top when I serve.  It is protein packed meal that everyone loves!
