Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best to keep the dressing separate until you are ready to eat. The Power Bowl should stay fresh for about 2-3 days. Use whatever veggies you have at home for variety. You can add nuts or seeds for extra crunch. If you’re short on time, use pre-cooked quinoa or store-bought rotisserie chicken. Experiment with different dressings to find your favorite flavor combination. Feel free to change up the grains, swap out the protein, or add different vegetables based on your taste.
