The bold and bright colours of this Quinoa Power Bowl are just one of many reasons why this salad is so great! After a tough workout, choosing the right fuel for your body is key, which is why this plant-based protein-packed salad was created. While exercise can help strengthen muscles and bones, it can also cause an increase of free radicals. This Quinoa Power Bowl is full of antioxidant vitamins, minerals, flavonoids and anti-inflammatory omega 3’s from the avocado, arugula, quinoa, and hemp seeds which will help combat the oxidative stress of exercise. Plus, it offers great sources of protein to help with muscle recovery and building.
