In reply to Kirsten. Hi Kirsten, I'm so glad you've enjoyed it! This is an older post that was originally sponsored by Yves, I'm not sure if they're around anymore :)

I’ve made many delicious Love & Lemons recipes over the years, but this one takes the cake. It is SO GOOD that I’ve made it for lunch two weeks in a row and I don’t even especially like chickpeas! Or kale!

I omitted the Yves bites (do they still make these?), roasted the beets with brown sugar, spiced up the sweet potatoes with cumin and red pepper flakes, and threw in some barley and sunflower seeds and feta for a little more heft/crunch/protein. Absolutely divine!

In reply to Lauren Goldvasser. Ditto. I know your comment is old but I'm thinking of trying regular meatballs or falafel.

I cannot find those Yves balls anywhere!!!!!! I have looked at every single grocery/specialty/healthfood store in my area. I even asked if it can be ordered. Any suggestions for a sub??? Thanks!

This was great! I prepped a couple of bowls for weekday lunches and it hits the spot! I did substitute turkey meatballs for the quinoa bites because those looked a little expensive for me but still tastes great! Thanks for a step by step on the ever trendy “power bowls”. I have been wanting to make these for lunches but could never get the flavor right. Love your blog!

So I have called two stores and been to a third looking for these kale and quinoa bites. Can you tell me if they are refrigerated or frozen or what aisle I might look in at the store? Even Whole Foods gave me no help, and the Yves website is frustratingly vague. Thanks in advance!

That sure is a power lunch. I am concerned about the kale and quinoa bites
since they are made with canola oil which is GMO. What are your thoughts?

Well, you know how much I love food in bowls! I’m totally giddy over this round-up. Is that weird?

yeah that looks so yummy
i had to laugh over …counting down the hours to lunch…
so is me – and i’m thinking over preparing in front for taking this bowl to work
maybe there are no quinoa bites here in germany
but maybe falafel will work
