From our skinny table to yours ...

Power bowls are THE latest health craze and for good reason.  Why do we love them so much?  They are truly a eat what you have on hand meal, super filling & satisfying, the perfect COMPLETE meal and come together super quick as we usually construct them with leftovers.  Almost, sounds too good to be true right?  But just look at this deliciousness ...

Today's combination is our Raspberry Cilantro Chicken Power Bowl.  But you can honestly make these a million different ways.

Here's our basic combination: whole grains (we typically use quinoa), dark leafy greens (kale or spinach), protein (chicken, shrimp, tuna, lean steak or even tofu all work well), beans, fruit, nuts & extra veggies topped with a homemade raw dressing.


Our Raspberry Cilantro Chicken Power Bowl is a combination of diced chicken breast, fresh peaches, sauteed kale, protein packed quinoa and creamy avocado.  We topped this with a fruity dressing of simply fresh raspberries & cilantro blended with cilantro.  Drizzle over the top for a sweet finish!

Power bowls typically come together super quick for us as we always have cooked quinoa in the fridge and make this with any leftover protein we have on hand.  What's your favorite power bowl combination?
