Now that you rocked that mini workout, let’s head to the kitchen!  After all, muscles are made in the kitchen and I'm always looking for exciting new ways to use my favorite ingredients, and share my favourite recipes! 
Have you had a power bowl before? They are one of my favorite things to eat and they keep me on track all year long. Wellness never tasted so good and you don’t have to sacrifice on flavor to bring yourself a healthy and delicious meal. These bowls are jam-packed with so many good for you nutrients that keep you full and going all day long.
 
The thing that I LOVE about power bowls is that they are also perfect for meal prep. It is easy to roast a pan of fresh veggies and chick peas. There are so many healthy foods that are included in this recipe. These bowls are perfect for a healthy lifestyle, and packed with protein and fresh vegetables.
