Power Bowls have been our families weeknight dinner solution ever since having kids. I leave the bowls deconstructed for picky little eaters and for myself (+ Andy!), I pile on the veggies, sauce and spicy condiments for a more delicious and nourishing meal.
Prepping the components that go into a beautiful bowl in one night is a lot of work. That’s why it’s essential to plan ahead. Prep enough sauce, protein and quinoa or rice for multiple dinners and get creative with leftovers. I never tire of Power Bowls for dinner since there are endless combinations.

RECIPE: LEMON TAHINI SAUCE
This simple tahini sauce complements just about any type of bowl (and salads too!). I love it drizzled on top of rice with veggies and a protein. When you top a nourishing, veggie-packed bowl with a flavorful sauce, you’ll feel satiated longer.
Tahini is high in minerals (including iron), B vitamins, antioxidants, and of course healthy fats. Don’t skip the raw garlic as that adds a flavor pop, plus is great for your immune system. Garlic has natural antiviral and antibacterial compounds.
Ingredients:
- ½ cup tahini (unsalted)
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup water
- 1 small garlic clove, finely minced
- ½ teaspoon fine salt
Instructions:
Stir together the tahini, lemon juice, water, garlic, and salt. Seal with a lid and give a good shake. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
Stays fresh for up to 1 week in the fridge. If too thick, thin with a tablespoon of water.
