Building a Nutritious Power Bowl
You can really pack a nutritional punch when serving power bowls.
It’s a great way to boost your meals with good fats, a bunch of fiber and a super idea for a quick supper or when having friends over for a meal.
Why Fiber?
Fiber slows the absorption of sugars from your digestive tract to your bloodstream. Fiber also helps you feel full and aids in digestion and elimination of waste.
The added bonus ? While you’re enjoying fiber from nature’s pantry, you can also shrink your waistline!
