Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make the Protein Power Bowl
Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients
-
Boil the eggs: Place eggs in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, turn off the heat and let them sit covered for 9–10 minutes. Then, transfer them to an ice bath before peeling and slicing in half.
-
Chop the vegetables: Halve cherry tomatoes, slice the avocado and cucumbers, slice the red onion thinly, and prepare edamame or snap peas (blanch briefly if needed).
Step 2: Assemble the Bowl
-
Start by creating a base using baby spinach, arugula, or your favorite salad greens in a large bowl.
-
Arrange the toppings in sections around the bowl: avocado slices, halved eggs, cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, cucumber, red onion, edamame, and crumbled feta.
Step 3: Season and Finish
-
Sprinkle the entire bowl with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
-
Optional: drizzle a small amount of extra virgin olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice for extra flavor and brightness.
Notes
Cooking Note
• Boiled eggs can be prepped in advance and kept in the fridge for up to 5 days.
• Use ripe but firm avocado to avoid mushiness.
• Edamame can be bought frozen and steamed in just a few minutes—don’t forget to salt them lightly.
