This Sweet Potato Grain Bowl is a go-to recipe for me and my family. Chock full of protein and nutrients, this bowl can flex to most dietary preferences. My kids LOVE adding their own toppings and how they can personalize it every time for their own tastes.

I make these power bowls for dinners often in our Minimal Meal Plan rotation. I also like to keep the extra farro and sweet potatoes in the fridge to throw together a quick, healthy lunch for myself at home or to take to work. It is simple and packed with nutrition. Let me know if you try it!
