So, the New Year is here.  This means it’s time to start out new and fresh and possibly make a New Year's resolution or two.  With that being said, how many of you have started your New Year hoping to eat healthier, lose weight, or be more active?  I have done all of the above!  Every year is always the same.  But, one thing that gets me off course every time is finding easy, quick, HEALTHY recipes that everyone in the family will enjoy.  

It's hard to stay on track when people around you are not interested in eating healthy.  But with my Easy Quinoa Power Bowl with Italian White Bean Hummus, keeping your New Year's resolution has never been so easy! Healthy and delicious, this recipe is great for the whole family. It's perfectly portioned for a low calorie lunch or dinner!

WHAT INGREDIENTS DO I NEED?

• 2 cups cooked quinoa
• 1 cup shredded carrots
• ½ red onion
• 1 cup grape tomatoes
• 2 cups baby spinach
• ¼ cup + 3 tablespoon Wish-bone® Italian Dressing
• 6 oz of Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips
• 1 16oz can great northern beans
• cracked black pepper

One tip I give my personal training clients is that if you're looking to start the New Year off right, set yourself up for a week of healthy eating by preparing a few ingredients on Sunday.  

I love to make a few cups of quinoa to have in the refrigerator so that I can use it for any recipe that comes up during the week.  Since it is the base to my power bowl, it is one less thing I have to worry about making later.

Another product that makes my life easier, as well as this recipe, is using Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips. They are so convenient and easy!  I'm not a fan of too much work before eating.  If I'm super hungry after a workout or a long day, I need to have something healthy on hand or we all know I will run to something bad for me.  With these Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips I can just grab and go!  I love it!

The Italian white bean hummus is another great addition to this dish. It adds an extra dose of protein and fiber.  This particular bean spread is brought to life with Wish-Bone® Italian Salad Dressing.  It has such a wonderful tangy flavor that is just the thing this bowl needs.  I could slather this spread on a piece of cardboard it's so good!

You can find both of these ingredients at your local Kroger store (Wish-Bone® Italian Salad Dressing in the salad dressing aisle and the Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips in the frozen food section)!

HOW DO I MAKE AN EASY QUINOA POWER BOWL?

To create my Easy Quinoa Power Bowl, first start by prepping 2 cups of cooked quinoa.  When the quinoa is finished cooking, stir in 3 tablespoon of the Wish-Bone® Italian Salad Dressing, and set aside for now.  

To make the Italian white bean hummus, drain one 16oz can of great northern beans and place in a food processor.  Add in ¼ cup of Wish-Bone® Italian Salad Dressing and pulse until you have a creamy consistency.

Prep the vegetables by rinsing approximately 2 cups of fresh baby spinach, 1 cup of shredded carrots and 1 cup of grape tomatoes. Then, cut the grape tomatoes in half and slice ½ a red onion.

Now for the best part, building your power bowl!  

Note, that when you are ready to build you power bowl, add in as much or as little quinoa, vegetables and chicken as you wish.  There is no set amount that is perfect for everyone.  Make it your own personal bowl!  

When you have your desired amount of each ingredient, top your bowl with a dollop of the Italian white bean hummus and some cracked black pepper.  Easy as that you have a delicious, healthy meal.
