A vibrant and nutrient-dense power bowl featuring a base of fluffy grains and hearty beans topped with roasted sweet potatoes, fresh greens, and a creamy lemon tahini dressing. Perfect for busy families and meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale

3 cups Quinoa or Brown Rice (cooked)
2 15 oz cans Black Beans or Chickpeas (rinsed)
2 large Sweet Potato (cubed and roasted)
4 cups Fresh Baby Spinach or Kale
2 ripe Avocado (sliced)
0.5 cup Lemon Tahini or Olive Oil Vinaigrette
0.25 cup Pumpkin Seeds or Toasted Almonds

Instructions

  1. Cook the Grains: Rinse quinoa or rice thoroughly. Combine with water or vegetable broth in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the liquid is absorbed
  2. Roast the Vegetables: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss cubed sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 25 minutes until tender
  3. Prepare the Beans: Drain and rinse the canned beans. For extra flavor, sauté them briefly with a clove of minced garlic and a pinch of cumi
  4. Massage the Greens: If using kale, drizzle with lemon juice and salt, then massage the leaves for one minute to soften the texture
  5. Assemble the Bowl: Scoop a portion of grains into a large bowl. Add the beans, roasted vegetables, and a handful of greens. Top with avocado slices and crunchy seeds
  6. Add Dressing: Drizzle your favorite dressing over the entire bowl and serve immediately while the roasted components are still warm

Notes

Store individual components in airtight containers for up to five days to keep ingredients fresh for meal prep.

Season every layer for maximum flavor depth, including the grain cooking water and the beans directly.

If kids are picky eaters, serve the ingredients in separate small bowls so they can build their own custom power bowl.

Swap quinoa for cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option, or add feta and olives for a Mediterranean variation.
