Butternut Squash, Cashews and Greens Bulgur Bowl with Tahini [Vegan, Clean]

This month’s post is all about plant power and protein! This was our prompt for the month’s theme:

Packed with protein, fiber and color, plant power bowls are trendy and delicious. Show us the healthy recipe that’s in your bowl.

I saw this and was like protein check, fiber check, power bowl check. I’ve got this. You guys know that I love my protein and I love my fiber so I was all over this one. I wasn’t sure if plant powered meant vegetarian per-say, but since I wasn’t sure, I decided to make it so. The hard part was deciding which recipe to use. You see, I have TONS of recipes stocked to share with you guys. The problem is that I just don’t have the time I wish I had to post all of them.

The great thing about having a stock is having plenty to choose from. The hard part about having a stock is having a lot to choose from haha. I was down between too (ironically they both have butternut squash in it) but this one had greens in it and the other did not so I decided on this one since it had more plants in it! This bowl is warm and hearty and perfect for fall. It’s also vegan and clean and needs less than 10 ingredients! Of course it is also packed with protein and fiber :). I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Don’t forget to check out the other awesome recipes for plant powered bowls below.

This plant based #powerbowl is an easy and fiber packed dinner and a great way to get your greens! Click To Tweet
