Hi Friends!

It’s time for another month of Recipe Redux! This month the theme was vegetarian power bowls and I must say, this Wild Rice Power Bowl is pretty delicious! There’s just something about fall that makes me crave wild rice. I don’t know why I rarely think to make it during the other seasons. It’s so chewy and delicious….and full of protein! I love it in this Sausage and Wild Rice Stuffing that I make every year for Thanksgiving.

To make this, I used up some of my fav veggies that I always have on hand – red peppers and carrots. They’re a good combo because they both have similar roasting times so you can roast them on the same pan. Then, to add some healthy fats, I added avocado and some spicy hummus for a “dressing.”

You could definitely customize this with your favorite seasonal roasted veggies and use your favorite hummus flavor! If you’re a lettuce lover, feel free to throw all of this over a bed of spinach or lettuce for even more veggies. I’m just not a huge fan of leafy greens during this pregnancy, so I skipped them. There aren’t really any required amounts either. Feel free to load up your bowl with as many veggies as you’d like!

Here’s how I made mine:

So much goodness in one bowl! You could eat these warm or cold so feel free to roast the vegetables and cook the rice ahead of time for quick assembly. And if you’d prefer, you could use a mix of wild rice and brown rice or another grain like farro or wheatberries!
