Green Goddess Protein Bowl

Ingredients

1.5 cups (277.5 g) cooked quinoa

3 cups (444 g) frozen shelled edamame thawed

1.5 cups (105 g) white cabbage shredded - use a vegetable peeler for shredding

1 cucumbers - seeds removed and diced

1 spring onions - chopped

½ granny apple - core removed and diced

3 tbsp walnuts, chopped

CREAMY GREEN SAUCE

½ cup (67 g) sunflower seeds

½ cup (22 g) nutritional yeast

1 cup (24 g) fresh basil

1 cup (30 g) baby spinach

1 clove garlic

¼ cup (59.15 ml) lemon juice

½ cup (118.29 ml) soy milk

1 Pinch of salt

Directions

In a blender, combine the sunflower seeds, nutritional yeast, basil, baby spinach, garlic, lemon juice, soy milk, and salt. Blend until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency to make the green sauce.

In three separate bowls, begin by layering the creamy green sauce at the bottom. Follow by adding edamame, quinoa, cabbage, spring onions, and diced apple. Drizzle a squeeze of lemon to keep the apple from browning. Finish with a sprinkle of chopped walnuts for added crunch.

Seal each bowl with a lid, and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, give it a quick mix and enjoy!
