Peanut Power Bowl

Power bowls are incredibly popular on social media right now because of their beautiful presentation and vibrant color. As a Registered Dietitian, I really like them because they can also be a great way to get a balanced meal especially if you top it with peanuts!
2 portions
Ingredients
1/4 cup of water, plus 1 tbsp
1/2 cup of peanut powder
2 tsp of low sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp of lime juice
1 tbsp of brown sugar
1 tsp of garlic cloves, finely minced
Instructions
- Build Your Base With Whole Grains. Whole grains provide a good source of fiber. Recommended about 1/4 cup of quinoa or brown rice.
- Add Your Protein. Choose a lean protein source which can include lean beef, chicken, pork, eggs or beans.
- Pick Your Veggie. Pick 2-3 different types of veggies! The more color you add, the better!
- Dress it up with a healthy fat source! For this power bowl, I used a spicy peanut dressing.
- And finally, top it off with peanuts for extra power!
