Power bowls make great lunches. They're healthy and taste great, plus they make meal prep super easy. Unlike the heavy leftovers from your favorite Italian place, eating a quinoa power bowl for lunch won't make you sleepy in the afternoon. And they're a whole foods-based boost of nutrition, so no matter what you have for dinner, you've managed to eat some veggies and lean protein that day. This Southwestern power bowl is dairy-free, high in protein and has healthy carbs.

The chicken is coated in a Mexican-inspired seasoning blend of garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, and cumin. Sprinkle the seasoning over two chicken breasts and then cook the chicken in a large skillet until it's cooked all the way through. Once the chicken is done, saute the corn.
Assemble the bowls by first layering down the quinoa, then top with the roasted corn, red onion, black beans, avocado, cilantro, and chicken. Make the dressing by whisk lime juice, olive oil, and hot sauce together in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over your Southwestern power bowl and toss. Enjoy your healthy eating!
