Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Protein Power Bowl
Step 1: Prepare the Eggs and Vegetables
-
Boil the Eggs:
Place the eggs in a saucepan, cover them with water, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 9–10 minutes for firm yolks. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to cool and stop the cooking process. -
Slice and Prep Veggies:
While the eggs cool, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the red onions thinly, and prepare the avocado slices. If using fresh corn, steam or boil it briefly and slice the kernels off the cob. Frozen corn can be thawed and used directly.
Step 2: Assemble the Bowl
-
Create the Base:
In a large bowl or plate, layer a bed of greens if using. Add your sweet corn and cherry tomatoes on one side, and place the onion slices and avocado on another. -
Add Protein and Feta:
Halve the boiled eggs and arrange them neatly in the bowl. Sprinkle crumbled feta over the top, allowing it to fall naturally across the avocado and eggs for visual appeal.
Step 3: Finishing Touches
-
Season and Dress:
Add a pinch of salt and black pepper over the entire bowl. For extra flavor, drizzle olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice or your favorite healthy dressing. -
Serve Immediately or Chill:
Enjoy immediately at room temperature, or cover and chill for up to 1 day if preparing ahead for meal prep.
Notes
Cooking Note
-
For perfect boiled eggs, use eggs that are 7–10 days old—they peel more easily after cooking.
-
Avocados should be ripe but not mushy; they’re perfect when slightly soft to the touch but still firm.
-
To prevent avocado browning, brush slices with a little lemon or lime juice if making the bowl ahead of time.
