Note
- Naturally gluten-free and rich in plant-based protein, quinoa is a wholesome grain that offers fiber, iron, and magnesium—nutrients that help with energy production, muscle function, and digestion. Its complex carbohydrates also provide long-lasting energy, making it a great base for a balanced bowl.
- Seasoned with zesty lime and a touch of spice, chili-lime chicken brings bold flavor along with lean, filling protein. It supports muscle repair and satiety, while the lime juice adds a dose of vitamin C, which plays a role in immune health and collagen production.
- With its crisp texture and mild sweetness, jicama adds a refreshing contrast to the bowl. It's especially high in prebiotic fiber, which feeds healthy gut bacteria. A solid source of vitamin C, jicama also supports immune function and healthy skin.
- Corn contributes fiber and key antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are known to promote eye health. It also provides B vitamins that help your body turn food into energy, supporting metabolism and overall vitality.
