This Green Power Bowl is full of plant-based goodness! Whole grains, beans, tasty veggies, avocado, and a creamy cilantro lime sauce is all you need for a healthy and quick weeknight dinner. 

Bowls like this Green Power Bowl and my Mediterranean Bowl are some of my go-to meals for dinner because it’s easy to make and filled with plant-based goodness.

With bowls, you can throw in any grain, protein, veggie, etc to make a well-rounded dish.

And let me tell you, they’re so satisfying. They will fill you up and you won’t be looking around for a snack an hour after eating a big ol’ plate of pasta (like I usually am).

Green Power Bowl

For this Green Power Bowl, I chose chickpeas for protein and fiber (and bonuses of potassium, magnesium, iron, and B6) and brown rice for a healthy dose of whole-grain carbohydrates.

Kale gives us vitamins A while Vitamin C is found in both the kale and Brussels sprouts.

I added avocado (a monounsaturated fat) because it has been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol levels in your blood which can lower your risk of heart disease and stroke*.

Meal Prep

If you cook the rice and roast the Brussels sprouts beforehand this meal can come together in about 10-15 minutes. I usually make a big pot of rice while roasting some veggies on the weekends as a part of my Meal Prep.

It is so helpful having some parts of a meal ready when trying to get dinner on the table after a long day of work. If you do pre-cook the rice, you can just heat that and sprouts up and only have to make the sauce and kale.
