THIS RECIPE

Black Bean Power Bowl with Avocado Pesto

• Each time I ask you all what you would want to see more of on Emilie Eats, I consistently get an abundance of suggestions for simple and wholesome meals.  I can clearly hear you! I completely understand your perspective.
• Evidently, ordering takeout frequently becomes expensive, and after a long day, nobody wants to spend two hours cooking. Haha, no thanks.
• We might not have time to prepare a five-course meal (and who would want to? ), but I believe it’s crucial to set aside time to prepare a wholesome meal for yourself. Take your time and savor the moment.
• In my book, meals must be:

• healthy
• satisfying
• easy
• made with affordable ingredients

How to Cook Prep Black Bean Power Bowls

    The fact that power bowls are so simple to construct is one of their best features. What if, though, I told you that they might be made even simpler? Meal planning in two words. You can prepare all the ingredients for this power bowl recipe in one evening, then just assemble it when you’re ready to eat.
    Even though the recipe is scaled up to make a double batch if you’re preparing meals for your spouse or family, it only yields 4 when followed exactly. This is how you do it:

• Prepare each component of the bowl according to the recipe.
• When everything has been cooked, separate each ingredient and place it in an airtight container to preserve in the refrigerator.
• Simply put together a plate of grains, beans, cauliflower, and kale when you’re ready to eat. Then, you can either consume it cold or slightly warm it (but not too much!).
• Add the sauerkraut last, then drizzle the dressing on top. I advise packing the dressing, sauerkraut, and any additional toppings in a separate container if you’re packing your lunch on the move so you can add them once your bowl has warmed up.
• Prepare fresh herbs, raw red onion, and any additional garnishes you choose in advance.

How to Make Power Bowls
You can completely modify power bowls, which is another reason why I adore them.

• Beans.. Because beans are so high in protein and fiber, I prefer to utilize them as the foundation of my power bowl recipes. Additionally, you can use any type of bean you like, including kidney beans, chickpeas, lentils, etc. When you’re in a hurry, canned beans are fantastic, but you can make a pot of Instant Pot black beans in only one hour! Eat plenty of beans and grains since they are among the cheapest foods!
• Grains. Here, any grain will suffice. I used farro because I needed to empty my cupboard (have someone come help me eat everything), but you can also use rice, quinoa, buckwheat, or even oats.
• Greens.  In a power bowl, I enjoy using a dark leafy green. Kale is wonderful and easy to digest when it is wilted with a little garlic, like I did in this dish. Additionally, you might use chard or spinach, but keep in mind that spinach is more delicate and wilts more quickly. Serve the greens with raw vegetables if you prefer a salad green such as romaine, arugula, or iceberg lettuce. I prefer cauliflower in this power bowl combination because it holds up so well during dinner preparation, but feel free to substitute another vegetable, such as broccoli, bell pepper, or zucchini.
• Veggies. Cauliflower holds up really well for meal prep and I love it in this power bowl combo, but feel free to use another veggie like broccoli, bell pepper or zucchini
• Dressing. You should definitely try this avocado pesto, in my opinion. It’s very creamy and filling because it’s made using an avocado base. It completely transforms this power bowl.
• Toppings. Go berserk! The options are unlimited, but some examples would be fresh herbs, chopped red onion, lemon zest, hemp seeds, spicy sauce, and a squeeze of lime.
  
  
  
  How to Meal Avocado Pesto
    So, let’s talk about the avocado pesto on top. Apply the stuff liberally and you can thank me later. But in all seriousness, this dressing is ideal for a power bowl because it’s quite simple to create and has a ton of flavor.
      The power bowl gains more fiber and nutrients by using avocado as the base, in addition to producing a dairy-free dressing that is incredibly creamy. A nutrient-rich, flavor-packed pesto is created when basil, spinach, lemon juice, garlic, and walnuts are combined together. This pesto will undoubtedly become a staple of your daily lunch routine.
  
  NOTES
  *Any vegetables you desire can be roasted! Broccoli, asparagus, bell peppers, zucchini, etc. are all acceptable choices.
  * Follow the instructions on the grain’s container if you want 2 cups of cooked grains. Great choices include rice, quinoa, buckwheat, and kamut.
