Ingredients

Brown rice or quinoa

  • Diced mango
  • Avocado
  • Grated light cheddar

This protein bowl is nourishing, colorful, and perfect for fueling your day without compromising on flavor. It features our Light Medium Cheddar, awarded Best Reduced-Fat Cheese at the 2024 Quebec Cheese Competition. Aged for a minimum of six months, this unpasteurized cheddar delivers rich, developed flavor while remaining light (18% M.F.), lactose-free, gluten-free, and made without animal rennet. Combined with grilled chicken, fresh mango, and a tangy Greek yogurt dressing, it’s the ideal meal for busy, active days.

Preparation

  1. Cook the base: Prepare the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Let cool slightly or completely, depending on your preference.
  2. Grill the chicken: Cook the chicken in a skillet, on the BBQ, or in the oven with a bit of oil, salt, and pepper. Slice once cooked. (For a vegetarian option, use grilled tofu instead.)
  3. Prep the toppings: Dice the mango and avocado. Thinly slice the cucumber. Chop a bit of fresh cilantro.
  4. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt with fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust to taste.
  5. Assemble the bowl: In a bowl, add a base of rice or quinoa. Top with chicken slices, mango, avocado, cucumber, and cilantro. Generously sprinkle with grated light aged cheddar.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the lemon-yogurt dressing on top just before serving. Enjoy fresh.
