Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Bowl with Pomegranate Drizzle

Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Bowl with Pomegranate Drizzle is easy, crazy healthy, and packed with antioxidants! Filled to the brim with roasted carrots and potatoes, a base of fluffy quinoa, dressed with slightly sweet pomegranate drizzle, this is just the nutritious bowl to start your year off right!

POM Wonderful 100% Juice is not new to me or my family. My sister actually used to save and display her empty bottles! Since I used to be (and admittedly, still am) a picky eater, it took me a little longer to this juice out. When my husband started drinking POM a few years later, I decided to give it a shot. The flavor is amazing and always refreshing!

I only recently found out how great POM is for your health and how the juice is made. The pomegranate is whole-pressed, meaning a unique blend of polyphenol antioxidants from two whole pomegranates - including its fruit, pith, and rind - is found in each 8 oz bottle. In addition to antioxidants, POM Wonderful 100% Juice is a good source of potassium – each 8 oz bottle contains as much as a medium banana.

Quinoa bowls are a staple in my diet. I typically have a few throughout the week for lunch. They're always filling, full of protein, and delicious! What I love most about them is I can throw whatever we have in. We always seem to have and excess of potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and onions. Additionally, I buy quinoa, couscous, and wild rice in bulk, so we have options when it comes to the base. The game changer between all the bowls I make always comes down to the drizzle and toppings. This pomegranate drizzle is slightly sweet, slightly tart, but cut with the sharp flavor of Dijon mustard and silky EVOO it's the perfect touch to this rather rustic veggie bowl.
