If you’re hitting a wall with figuring out what to meal prep this week, power bowls are a great way to add a variety of different ingredients into one dish. They’re customizable to your diet, easily pack able for lunch, and fairly easy to assemble.

Key Ingredients

The base of any bowl is a grain or veggie noodle. Whole wheat rice, quinoa, or even a blend of different types of grains are a great foundation for your bowl. Veggie noodles are also great and easy to whip up. You can select from zucchini, carrots, and even sweet potato! If you don’t have extra time to spiralize the veggies yourself, many grocery stores have pre-made containers too. After selecting a base, collect some vegetables, fruit, nuts, and legumes. While you don’t have to each of these ingredients, it really helps to complete the bowl. Roasting the vegetables is a great way to make sure they hold up and nuts add great texture. Legumes also add a nice creaminess to the bowl and a different flavor dimension. Last but definitely not least, you’ll need a sauce or dressing. Bottled dressing works, but you may be surprised how easy dressing is to make yourself when you look through these recipes! Tahini is a common ingredient for the dressings and adds fantastic flavor to the bowls. Good luck and hope you enjoy your bowls!
