High Protein Harvest Bowl

44g protein AND tastes amazing

Gluten Free. Includes Dairy. Minimal Ingredients.

Whenever I go to Sweetgreen, I always gravitate towards the harvest bowl… there’s just something about the combination of sweet potato, quinoa and chicken. I decided to switch the usual harvest bowl recipe a little bit, adding tomatoes, avocado and swapping chicken for chicken sausage. I also made a super yummy, high protein creamy dressing to top it all off. It came together very quick – and if you meal prep your quinoa and/or sweet potatoes in advance, it comes together even quicker. It’s packed with 44g protein and is TASTYYYYY baby!

The recipe outline and ingredient list is below.
