Mediterranean Power Bowls
Power bowls, Buddha bowls, grain bowls - all different names for essentially the same thing; a bowl full of healthy, tasty, colorful goodness!
In the spirit of "quick and easy" that we try to maintain around here, here is a great lunch or dinner option in keeping with our Mediterranean Diet month. It's loaded with plant proteins, vegetables and healthy fats. And it's totally customizable!
The basic bowl I made here includes:
brown rice
chick peas
grape tomatoes
kalamata olives
feta
arugula
hummus
pine nuts
avocado
tiny bit of salt and pepper for the avocado
You can make it any way you like, though. What do you love? Throw it in there! Here are some other options:
white beans
black eyed peas
lentils
farro
red onion
scallions
peppers - red, yellow or green
black beans
fried zucchini
sun-dried tomatoes
black olives
cucumber
sliced beets
sautéed cauliflower
chopped kale
baby spinach
artichoke hearts
chopped asparagus
diced, fried potatoes
crumbled or sliced hard-boiled egg
shrimp
grilled chicken
mini keftethes (Greek meatballs)
steak bites
canned tuna
salmon
​
However you make it, be sure to add plenty of different colors. This is a great way to "eat the rainbow", as nutritionists frequently recommend.
