So why settle for a boring meal when you can have a power bowl? With their delicious flavors, nourishing ingredients, and endless possibilities, power bowls are the perfect way to fuel your body and enjoy a tasty and exciting meal at the same time.

I’m still thinking about easy, nutritious and most importantly scrumptious lunches. Who wants to face another pb&j sandwich? Not me. Once lunch time rolls around, I’m starving and always pressed for time. I want something that’s quick to make, will give me buckets of energy to finish my day and tastes like I want another.

Rice bowls, quinoa bowls, energy bowls, super power packed ‘you name it, it’s in here’ bowls are the answer. I love the ingredient versatility and how gorgeous they look with minimal effort. Open your fridge, have a look around for a few vegetables, a couple of eggs and a salad dressing. Then move to your cupboard and haul out some rice or a grain, a legume of some kind and nuts. There you have it; all of the stuff you need to create your own lunch bowls.
