If you live in a place where it is winter right now like me, then you are probably craving some color! Enter this edamame bowl. She is so pretty with red, orange, and green. Mix up this recipe for a fresh lunch option that is filled with flavor and beauty.

My inspiration for this energy bowl, believe it or not, was an ALDI frozen entree. It was delicious! We all know how things rotate through ALDI, so I wanted to create my version that I could make any time I had the craving for it! And don’t worry, this fresh version hits the ALDI frozen entree out of the park!

Why You Will Love The Edamame Energy Bowl with Peanut Sauce

FLAVOR! I can’t stress this enough. The peanut sauce is perfection.It adds a sweet peanutty flavor that pairs so well with the vegetables in this dish.
Made for meal prep! This recipe is a perfect meal prep option. Make it on Sunday night and you are set for lunch for the week!
Plant based protein! Sometimes it is nice to back off the meat. This recipe features edamame and black beans, so it is packed with plant protein!

Ingredients

Quinoa – this grain has fiber and protein to fill you up!

Edamame – Yum! Steamed edamame is just delicious, isn’t it? Edamame adds more protein to the energy bowl too!

Broccoli – Has many vitamins and minerals to give you the energy you need. Steaming the broccoli brings out the beautiful green of the florets, too!

Red Pepper – It’s just so pretty! I love the red that this dish gets from the red pepper. Of course, any color of bell pepper will work, but the red looks best in this dish in my opinion!

Carrot – Shredded carrot is another blast of color for this beautiful energy bowl. And it adds vitamins and minerals to the dish as well.

Black Beans – They offer another source of protein and fiber in this dish!

Peanut Sauce – Is full of flavor and just so good! To reach the desired consistency of your sauce feel free to add a couple teaspoons of water if needed to thin it out.

QUINOA: In a medium saucepan, combine quinoa and water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes.
SAUCE: Combine all ingredients (peanut butter, garlic, ginger, rice vinegar, coconut aminos, honey, and cayenne pepper) and whisk together in a small bowl.
VEGGIES: Microwave edamame according to bag directions.
