This easy power bowl is the perfect easy dinner. It is full of veggies and plant-based protein and it tastes amazing. The real kicker here is that it comes together in about 20 minutes and uses just one skillet. This is truly one of the easiest recipes on my blog and also one of my favorites. I return to this easy recipe time and time again because as a busy, working Mother of 3, I struggle to keep myself nourished when I am always on the go. This recipe is great for meal prep also but tbh, this is the one I make when I don't know what to eat and I need a quick cook.
