I’ve got a little meatless for your Monday! Ever since going low-carb, I crave big bowls of vegetables. Preferably in the form of salads. The bigger, more colorful and textural the better. I’ve come a long way from the days of where I’d eat iceberg salads sans dressing. Now I’m fearless when it comes to greens, vegetables and fruits colliding in the same bowl, sharing the same dressing and everything.
Case and point: this loaded sweet potato blueberry power bowl!
One power bowl is packed with protein, vitamins, nutrients and healthy fats that will keep you going all day long.
To make this Sweet Potato Blueberry Power Bowl recipe you will need:
- sweet potatoes
- blueberries
- baby spinach
- avocado
- blood orange
- cashews
- red onion
- hemp seeds
- creamy cashew dressing
You can totally customize this, using whatever you have on hand. Also, feel free to keep this vegetarian by omitting the chicken.
Preheat your oven to 400℉ (or 200℃).
Make the spice blend.
To make the sweet potatoes: peel and dice two large sweet potatoes into 1-1/2 inch pieces and place onto a rimmed metal sheet pan. Then toss with 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil and 1 heaping tablespoon of my turmeric vegetable seasoning blend. And then roast for 20-25 minutes (or until fork tender) on the middle rack of your preheated 400° oven.
In the meantime, this is when I quickly pull together the creamy cashew dressing. Literally, it takes 5 minutes to do this and you have instant dressing for your power bowl.
I also prepare the rest of the ingredients, like peeling and slicing the orange and avocado, rinse the blueberries, and quickly cook up a couple boneless, skinless chicken breast halves.
Next, build the salad by placing a generous handful of baby spinach or power greens into a bowl and topping it with the turmeric roasted sweet potatoes, half an avocado, a handful of fresh blueberries, a little red onion, slices of blood orange and top it with crushed cashews and a tablespoon of hemp hearts.
Lastly I drizzle it all with a few spoonfuls of the creamy cashew dressing.
A flavor explosion in every bite!
Not only texturally amazing -thank you cashews and crispy roasted sweet potatoes – But it’s a feel-good power bowl packed with lots of nutritious goodies. This sweet potato blueberry power bowl is also a great recipe to meal prep, to have on hand and ready-to-go for healthy lunches all week long.
