Power Bowls
There’s something so grounding about opening the fridge and seeing these rainbow bowls stacked and ready. Fresh, crunchy veggies, bold flavors, and balanced ingredients—all layered to stay crisp. It’s still meal prep, just elevated. No soggy salads or uninspired lunches—just food that feels good and looks good too.
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 2 meals
Chill Time: n/a
Storage: Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days
Ingredients (makes about 2 servings):
2 cups cooked chicken breast (grilled or baked, cubed)
2 cups romaine or mixed greens, chopped
1 cup cucumber, sliced
1 cup red bell pepper, diced (I use bellpeppers instead of tomatoes due to slight allergy)
1 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
½ cup red onion, finely sliced
½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
Dressing of choice (balsamic vinaigrette, tahini, or lemon olive oil all work beautifully- I used Lemon & Olive Oil)
Directions:
Start with the base: In each jar, pour 2–3 tablespoons of your chosen dressing.
Layer the hearty veggies: Add red bell pepper, cucumbers, and onion—these can handle the dressing without getting soggy.
Add the middle layers: Toss in corn and yellow bell pepper for crunch and sweetness.
Protein next: Layer cubed chicken evenly among jars.
Top it off: Finish with leafy greens, keeping them farthest from the dressing so they stay crisp.
notes & tips:
Vegan option: Swap chicken for chickpeas, black beans, or grilled tofu.
Storage: Keeps fresh up to 4 days in the fridge.
Mix & match: Add avocado or seeds right before serving for extra creaminess and crunch.
