Easy, delicious and filled with protein, this Green Goddess Protein Bowl recipe is perfect for summer, easy dinners or wholesome breakfasts. At over 60g of protein per serving, this protein bowl earns its name twice over, grilled chicken and quinoa under a herby LANCEWOOD® Low Fat Smooth Cottage Cheese dressing that does the work of a much heavier sauce.
Blended together, the parsley, dill, basil, garlic and lemon juice turn the cottage cheese a vivid, herby green, thick enough to cling to every grain of quinoa and each piece of vegetable without a drop of oil or mayonnaise anywhere near it.
There is something genuinely satisfying about layers of colour in a bowl. Ruby tomatoes, deep green spinach and bright orange carrot sitting under that sharp, herby dressing, food that looks like it will do you good before you have even picked up a fork.
Around 60g per serving, split between the grilled chicken, quinoa and the LANCEWOOD® Low Fat Smooth Cottage Cheese dressing.
A blend of parsley, dill, basil, garlic, lemon juice and LANCEWOOD® Low Fat Smooth Cottage Cheese Plain, blended until smooth, in place of the usual mayonnaise or sour cream base.
Yes, leave out the grilled chicken and the quinoa, edamame and vegetables still make a substantial bowl, just with a lower protein count.
Yes, it keeps well in the fridge for a few days in a sealed container, ready to pour over whenever the bowl is assembled.
Brown rice, couscous or a mix of leafy greens would all work as the base in place of quinoa.
The dressing, chicken and quinoa can all be made ahead and stored separately, then assembled just before eating so the vegetables stay crisp.
