Amazing Power Grain Bowls - for Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner

This recipe for amazing grain bowl recipes is a healthy and hearty dish, that fills you up and keeps you satisfied for hours.

They are not exactly new. Well, they are new to me, so I wanted to share this new obsession. Power grain bowls are showing up at restaurants everywhere, and the couple I had were really delicious. I love it when I can order something super healthy and it also tastes amazing.

Grain Bowl Recipe

The power grains I used in this recipe were farro and quinoa. I've already talked about the amazing quinoa seed in my Quinoa Salad and Caprese Quinoa Bake. 

Farro is something I have heard about from my brother, but haven't tried until recently.

Farro is a whole grain that reminds you of barley. However, it's not mushy when cooked, but has a nice dense chewy texture.

Both quinoa and farro contain approximately 4 grams of protein, and 3 grams of fiber each, per 1/2 cup serving. That's double duty for a healthy meal.

Now for more flavor. I've added baby kale, sliced avocado, and a poached egg to this dish. Then topped it off with a drizzle of fresh lemon juice. The creaminess of the avocado and egg yolk, combined with the acid from the lemon makes the perfect dressing.
