Whether you’re looking to reset your habits, increase your energy, or simply bring more flavor into your life, this meal plan is your passport to wellness—Jamaican style.



🍛 What Are Ital Power Bowls™?

Rooted in Rastafarian traditions and the Ital lifestyle, these bowls focus on whole, natural ingredients—fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, and herbs—prepared with intention and love.


Each bowl in this month’s plan is packed with:

  • Plant-based protein for strength and recovery

  • Slow-burning carbs like quinoa and brown rice for sustained energy

  • Nutrient-dense greens like callaloo, kale, and spinach

  • Flavor-packed sauces like coconut-ginger or jerk vinaigrette

  • Island-inspired toppings for crunch, color, and balance


From Jerk-Spiced Lentils with Coconut Quinoa to Roasted Sweet Potato & Callaloo with Mango-Chili Dressing, these bowls are more than meals—they’re a celebration of vitality.
