Garden Green Power Bowl Ingredients

  • Hemp Seeds: An amazing natural source of plant protein, full of antioxidants, fiber, fatty acids, and healthy fats. They add both texture and a nutritious boost to the bowl.
  • Kale: Massaging it with olive oil, a little salt, and lemon juice tenderizes it perfectly, making it enjoyable even for those who aren’t typically fans. Kale is rich in nutrients, including vitamin C, selenium, vitamin E, and beta carotene.
  • Chickpeas: High in fiber, protein, and healthy fats, chickpeas have a low GI and help control weight. In this recipe, they’re simply dressed with olive oil and lemon, and they taste amazing!
  • Vegan Ranch Dressing: Making your own dressing ensures no sneaky additives, and you can adjust the ingredients to taste. This dressing pairs well with many salads.
  • Avocado: Adds a creamy, rich texture to the bowl.
  • Peas: Provides a sweet pop of flavor and extra protein.
  • Cucumber: Adds a refreshing crunch to the bowl.
  • Mushrooms: Sautéed to perfection, they add a savory depth of flavor.
  • Fresh Basil: Adds a fresh, aromatic element.
  • Olive Oil and Lemon: Used for massaging the kale and dressing the chickpeas.

How to Make this Power Bowl

Start by preparing the dressing: combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl until thoroughly mixed, then set it aside. Store any unused dressing in an airtight container in the fridge. Next, drain and rinse the chickpeas, drizzle them with a little olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon. Massage the kale with lemon juice, salt, and olive oil to tenderize it, then set it aside. Ribbon the cucumbers, sauté the mushrooms, and flash blanch the peas.

Assemble the bowl by arranging all the prepared ingredients, including the chickpeas, kale, cucumbers, mushrooms, and peas. Add fresh torn basil and a sprinkle of hemp seeds for extra texture and nutrition. Finally, drizzle with the creamy dressing and enjoy your delicious, nutrient-packed Garden Green Power Bowl!
