Instant Pot Vegetable Quinoa Bowl for Two

Vegetable Quinoa Bowls are a easy healthy meal to throw together during the busy week! Little time involved, simple, and you can literally fill your bowl with whatever you want! Not only do I love this meal, but I love using my instant pot to make it. I recently bought an instant pot, and it is a GAME CHANGER, i'm obsessed! Never cooking vegetables on the stove again!
