[BJ’s Restaurants and Brewhouse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickin-chicken-sandwich) is starting the new year off on a healthy foot with the debut of its new Enlightened Power Bowls.

Just as the name suggests, the all-new Enlightened Power Bowls are made with fresh and healthy ingredients. There are four Enlightened Power Bowls to choose from, each of which are made with a similar blend of [roasted barbacoa cauliflower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweetgreen-late-fall-menu), Peruvian quinoa, brown rice, black beans, fire-roasted red pepper succotash, corn, cucumbers, pickled red onions, pico de gallo, feta cheese, and more. Customers can choose to enjoy a vegetarian version of the bowl, or they can opt for one of three different proteins: [chicken, shrimp, and salmon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grilled-sea-bass-bowl).

The new Enlightened Power Bowls are available from all BJ’s locations nationwide for a limited time.
