If we’re going to be honest, I’ve been eating variations of this Rainbow Protein Power Bowl for a week straight and I’m not seeing an end to it any time soon. I mean not only can you prep all the roasted veggies ahead of time but it is an indecisive persons (aka ME!) dream in a bowl. You got lots of different foods all combined into one easy to eat bowl. Best part is you can play around with so many flavours and combos and it will still turn out delicious and nutritious.

For this version I opted for the base of quinoa and roasted carrot, cauliflower and broccoli but you could use rice, beans, sweet potato… you name it!

As more projects fall onto my plate and posting 3 videos a week now on the channel (YIKES) I’m all about the meal prepping lately! I even started a whole series on my channel about it, which you can watch here. Every week now I’ve been roasting up a ton of veg/cooking up some grains and storing it in the fridge for easy healthy lunches all week long.

Notes

You can prep your roasted veggies and quinoa in the beginning of the week and store it in the fridge in containers. Then when ready to eat all you have to do is warm everything up and fry up an egg to place on top with your extra fixings.
