Just like the one-pot meal, the convenience of an all-in-a-bowl meal is appealing, especially when it is balanced and healthy.
Author Christal Sczebel, certified holistic nutritional consultant, runs with the concept in her book “Power Bowls: 100 Perfectly Balanced Meals in a Bowl” ($19.95), starting off with Wake Up Bowls like Huevos Rancheros or a Sweet Potato and Avocado Scramble; Workout Bowls, for before or after exercise; Small Bowls for snacks; Big Bowls like Mojito Shrimp and Zucchini; and Treat Bowls for that sweet tooth.
Chapters on ingredient profiles—with an exploration of their nutritional benefits—and cooking techniques lead to recipes that for the most part, take little time to achieve. Most require well under 30 minutes; some take just 5 minutes to assemble. Nutrition information is included with every recipe.
