What is a power bowl?

A power bowl (similar to a buddha bowl) is a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner that has a focus on wholesome ingredients and protein-rich foods to keep you feeling full and energized.

This Quinoa Power Bowl is loaded with ingredients like quinoa, chickpeas, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, feta cheese and avocado to help keep you feeling fueled with healthy fats, protein and carbs.

This recipe is versatile and can be adjusted to add any other ingredients you love or have on hand!

Tips for making this recipe perfectly

  • When cooking the quinoa, I recommend using 1 cup of quinoa to 1 3/4 cups water so the quinoa doesn’t become mushy.
  • Use toasted seeds in this recipe, they will give much more flavour than raw seeds.
  • If you make this recipe for food prep, leave the dressing separate so the salad doesn’t become soggy. Dress only right before serving.
  • Add in any other vegetables, grains or protein sources you love if desired.
