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:
