Actually, Brilliant Bowls are the Ultimate Power Lunch

A recent North American workplace survey offered some delicious takeaways about the benefits of taking a lunch break. 

Apparently a proper lunch hour lets us return to work with improved perspective, renewed energy and focus.

Surprise, surprise.

The study also found that regular lunch breakers also experienced less burnout, reporting better work-life balance and increased job satisfaction. 

But in our climate, where a heavy meal can knock you out, choosing a smart lunch is another key to optimizing your lunch break. 

Chef Lise Russell has studied lunch concepts for most of her career. 

“We put a lot of thought into our lunch bowls, because when you’ve eaten well, you can actually feel your body is nourished and coming alive.”

“I created most of these recipes for myself. In a busy kitchen, you need energizing meals to eat on the go.”

Lise soon discovered others who shared her passion for the zingy, balanced bowls.

“When we opened in 2010, there weren’t as many dining options available in Nassau for vegans or vegetarians. About 20% of what we serve is plant-based. Because our menu changes daily, our customers never get bored.”

Chives’ power bowls often feature organic quinoa, an Incan super grain that’s perfect for this climate. Quinoa is rich in minerals, with a low glycemic index, and a light texture that absorbs saucy flavours.

In a brilliant bowl, the flavour hits first. Dressings awaken the palate, coaxing you to savour every bite.

Each element has purpose, combining ingredients for maximum nutrition.

Think ginger or turmeric plus black pepper and heart-healthy oils for anti-inflammatory alchemy.

Or thoughtfully composed grain + legume + nuts or seeds that form powerful proteins. 

This concept mines the ancient wisdom that created fast, filling combos like the iconic PB sandwich, peas and rice, and bean burritos. 

So if you need a good reason to give yourself a break today, why not try one of our brilliant bowls, have a real power lunch.
