Superfood Power Lunch Bowl
Between crazy amounts of work and getting settled into our new home, my days have been long lately. I’m working hard from morning to bedtime, and sometimes don’t have time for dinner until well into the evening.
I need to make my lunch count as much as possible so I can get through the long afternoon.
I created my Superfood Power Lunch Bowl by filling a bowl with spinach, then adding a serving of cottage cheese. I finished my bowl with black rice, roasted sweet potato (buy an extra to make a sweet potato breakfast casserole, too), blueberries (I had these on hand after making buttermilk blueberry muffins), pistachios and a lemon wedge for extra flavor.

Thanks so much, Deborah! I’m actually making more of these for lunches this week, too 🙂
This is perfection in a bowl. Love everything you put in it, I’m a pistachio lover so I am all for popping those in any power bowl.
Oh, I agree! I can never have too many pistachios. They are just so tasty. Thanks for stopping by, Kim!
This is a really neat sweepstakes – it definitely encourages creativity. So I’ll have to keep going back to create more. Your creation sounds great, too.
