⭐ How to Make High-Protein Power Bowls
1. Cook the Eggs
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
Add eggs and boil for 9–10 minutes.
Transfer to cold water, peel, and slice in half. Set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Grill or pan-cook over medium heat until golden and fully cooked (6–8 minutes per side).
Let rest briefly, then slice into strips.
3. Cook the Shrimp
Lightly season shrimp with salt and pepper.
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a hot pan.
Cook shrimp for 2–3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove immediately to avoid overcooking.
4. Steam the Broccoli Florets
Steam broccoli florets until tender but still bright green, about 4–5 minutes. Set aside.
5. Prepare the Broccoli Rice
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add broccoli rice with a pinch of salt and cook until heated through and lightly softened, about 4–5 minutes.
6. Assemble the Bowls
Divide broccoli rice between bowls as the base.
Top with sliced chicken, shrimp, halved eggs, steamed broccoli, and a scoop of cottage cheese.
Serve warm or slightly chilled, depending on preference.
