Whole30 Meatless Power Bowl

If a recipe has the word, ‘power’ in the title, does it make you want to dig in? Getting all philosophical like Will Ferrel playing Harry Caray – “If the moon were made of cheese, would’ja eat it?” Well my answer is yes to both. And this whole30 meatless power bowl IS the answer to all my lunchtime dreams.

Pin It!

Whole30 savory power bowls. Meatless and full of nutrient-dense foods like sweet potatoes, soft boiled egg, and avocado. With a creamy apple cider vinegar and cashew butter dressing

You know what leaves me powerless? Avocados. Damn those things! Like, if you BLINK you’ll miss the perfect opportunity to eat ’em. Admittedly these avo’s weren’t QUITE the perfect ripeness for this whole30 meatless power bowl, but I didn’t care. When you want an avocado, you just gotta make it work. Yeah, I eat avocados a little too hard and a little too mushy. I don’t discriminate when it comes to avocado. I do with cabbage though….

Look, whitish/green cabbage in coleslaw is just fine, but sautéing cabbage means it has to be purple. There’s no wiggle room here. Here’s why – sautéing cabbage makes it REAL ugly, so the least you can do buy the pretty purple kind. Unless ugly food is your thing??

Confession – ugly food is usually my thing. I only pretty up my meals for this blog. Everything else I eat looks like dog food. And I’m ok with that.

This meatless power bowl with a creamy apple cider cashew dressing is whole30 compliant, nutrient-dense, and so easy to make!

This whole30 meatless power bowl is anything but dog food. Packed with nutrient dense goodies like pan-fried sweet potatoes, sautéed cabbage, avocado, and drizzled with a creamy and slightly tangy cashew butter dressing, it just doesn’t get any better. Then when  you’re done with whole30 and you still have a tub of that rich cashew butter, you can make this vanilla cake batter protein pudding.

WAIT! It does get better!!! A warm and runny soft boiled egg on top to complete this bowl of desire – and THEN topped with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. It’s a foodie’s dream of warm, soft, crunchy, runny, fresh, tangy, creamy, and filling. Adjectives? CHECK.

Avocado, sautéed cabbage, and sweet potato with a soft boiled eggs make these whole30 power bowls a great meatless lunch or dinner

This vegan and whole30 compliant lunch (or dinner) can be whipped up in a few minutes with little to no prep needed! That’s kind of amazing, considering whole30 and meal prep kind of go hand in hand. Double or triple the recipe to have all week for a quick ‘reheat and devour’ session any time of day. Because warm, hearty, and healthy veggie bowls make unbearably cold days a little better, and the whole30 challenge a little easier.

No more boring salads or complicated meal prep. This whole30 meatless power bowl has all the bases covered and will keep your belly happy and full. A great way to POWER through the day.

Time Saver Tips

    • I had someone ask for a Whole30 meal planner that was a vegetarian version. WAY too much work for me to give away for free, but definitely got me thinking that there should be some meatless options out there! Thanks Liz!

  16. I love this idea, but I want to kindly make a small correction. You said “vegan” – for this to be vegan, you’d subtract the egg. This is totally vegetarian friendly, though! 🙂

    • Ooooh good catch! I meant to imply it’s vegan if you omitted the egg, but I never actually typed that out! LOL! Mom brain. Thanks Diane!
