How to Make Super Food Bowls

by Marla Murphy

Are you doing it for the ‘gram or are you doing it for your health?! Well we’ve got three easy recipes today that are both Instagram-worthy and good for you!

Whenever I am creating a well balanced meal I start with choosing a carbohydrate (grains and starchy vegetables), a source of protein (chicken, beef, fish, etc), and then all the low calorie, high fiber/nutrient vegetables (hello spinach, bell peppers, and broccoli).

Then you can get creative with the fun part…flavors and toppings! The options are endless for what you can create, but today we are sharing three of our favorite go-to’s: garlic, hot and spicy, and teriyaki!

Garlic Chicken & Brussel Sprout Bowl

Instructions

Servings per recipe: 2

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

While the oven is preheating, place the raw chicken into a bowl and marinate in the 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1/2 a tablespoon of the Italian seasoning, 1 tablespoon of garlic and salt/pepper.

Bake the chicken in a baking dish with foil (for easy cleanup) for 20-25 minutes, until fully cooked.

Remove from the oven and let cool.

While the chicken is in the stove cooking, cook the tri-colored quinoa. We just followed the instructions on the package for quick and easy, boil in the bag quinoa.

On a skillet on the stove, heat to medium-high heat and add the rest of the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic and salt/pepper and all the vegetables, and sauté until cooked and ready to eat!

Now the fun part! Assemble your bowl! We started with the quinoa, chicken, then the vegetables and finished with a big scoop of guacamole!

Serve hot and enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 1 pound of chicken breast, boneless/skinless
  • Tri-colored quinoa, cooked (we kept it simple with these)
  • Brussel sprouts, shredded
  • Butternut squash, precut 
  • Broccoli, trimmed and cut
  • 1 scoop of guacamole
  • 2 tablespoons of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil 
  • 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of salt/pepper

Hot and Spicy Turkey Superfood Bowl

Instructions

Servings per recipe: 2

On the stovetop, on a skillet, heat to medium-high heat.

In the skillet add in the ground turkey and sautee until cooked thoroughly, then add in 1-2 tablespoons of Frank’s Hot Sauce (the more you add, the hotter it will be). Once cooked, remove from the skillet and set aside.

While the turkey is cooking, make the brown rice, we prefer the organic frozen brown rice from Trader Joe’s for an easy to make rice option!

Then in a skillet on the stove, heat to medium-high heat and add the rest of the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of Frank’s Hot Sauce and salt/pepper and all the vegetables and sauté until cooked and ready to eat!

Now the fun part! Assemble your bowl! We started with the brown rice, turkey, then the vegetables and finish with another sprinkle of hot sauce if you want to make it spicy!

Serve hot and enjoy!
