During these crazy times, I've made a conscious decision to try and eat healthy meals whenever I can. Whether it's in the form of incorporating more fruits and vegetables or squeezing in a protein shake here and there.
For this week, I chose to prepare a couple of power bowls as they're loaded with vitamins, fiber and protein 💪💪
This one here is a healthy, light and super delicious Mediterranean bowl. It's base ingredient is bulgur grain, then I topped it up with beans, chickpeas, fresh vegetables and a yummy hummus dip.

Instructions
Bowl base and toppings
- Follow cooking instructions to cook the bulgur. I added 4 cups of water to 2 cups of bulgur, 1 tsp olive oil, 1 dash of cumin, salt and pepper.
- Let it simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.
- Once the bulgur is done, you can add the veggies and beans.
- I chose fava beans and chickpeas as they're delicious and packed with a ton of fiber and nutrients.
Hummus dip
- rinse and drain the chickpeas
- in a food processor add all ingredients and mix until smooth and creamy
- if too thick you can add a little bit of water until you've reached desired thickness
- remove hummus dip from the processor and drizzle a bit of olive oil and sumac on top.
- Enjoy 😊
Tips
- Make sure bulgur is cool before adding all the toppings.
- Also you can have whatever base or toppings that you prefer. I just chose ingredients I like.
