A Simple, Healthy Meal Idea
Putting this all together doesn’t have to be complicated. Here is an idea for a simple, nourishing, and delicious lunch or dinner that ticks all the right boxes:
The “Power Bowl”
- Start with a base: A scoop of cooked quinoa or brown rice.
- Add protein: Top with a serving of roasted chickpeas, flaked wild-caught salmon, or a sliced, freshly cooked chicken breast.
- Pile on the veggies: Add a generous handful of spinach, some steamed broccoli florets, and a few slices of creamy avocado.
- Add color and flavor: Sprinkle with some blueberries or pomegranate seeds for a sweet and tangy burst.
- Drizzle with dressing: Whisk together extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper, and drizzle it over the top.
This one-bowl meal is balanced, colorful, and full of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. It’s easy to customize based on what you have on hand and is a perfect example of how enjoyable healthy eating can be.
