Protein Bowl Recipe

I recently went took my kids to a fast food chain restaurant that serves tacos.  I only ordered chips and queso because I didn't feel like having a belly ache.  I took the kiddos because we had COUPONS!  Eating at fast food gives rarely any healthy options.  As we were eating, I glanced up at the menu and saw that there was a somewhat healthy option.  I was stoked!  I think finally, some chains are getting it, not everyone wants to eat cheap crap.

So, I went home and googled what was in this protein bowl.  It inspired me to make up my own concoction and to my surprise, it's super yummy with the added bonus of super healthy!  Oh yeah, and SUPER easy to make.  Hubby requests this dish often.

Vegan Protein Bowl

Cooking tip: cook up a bunch of rice at the beginning of the week and have it on hand.  Rice is easy to cook, but I somehow dread making it. It's silly, I know.

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
