Quinoa Power Bowls

Quinoa Power Bowls are a delicious and healthy dinner that is packed with protein!

Or a.k.a. All The Healthy Things Piled Into A Bowl For Maximum Nourishment And 100% Less Guilt For Eating Dessert.  But that's too long, so let's just go with Quinoa Power Bowls, shall we?

These power bowls are pretty much my ideal meal.  I can make a meal out of vegetables and be 100% satisfied, and that's exactly what these bowls are.  A base of garlic quinoa, topped with cumin and chili powder spiced roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli (or whatever your favorite veggies are!), paprika spiced chickpeas, and fresh sliced avocado.  I contemplated adding a sauce to drizzle over everything but decided I wanted to let the veggies shine this time.   It's about time we gave them the attention they deserve, right?

Plus, I obviously was going to drizzle it with a fair share of hot sauce anyways, so what was the point of a sauce?  If you think you might need a little sauce to pull everything together, I think my vegan chipotle sauce would be perfect, as would this lemon tahini dressing.

Either way, make it and then eat this later.  Have a great weekend!
