How to Make the Peri Peri Herb Rice Bowl 

Step 1: Prepare the Creamy Peri Peri Vegetables 

Start by heating a little oil in a pan. 

Add chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté until they soften and become slightly golden. 

Now add 1 scoop of Prolicious Up It and mix it well with the vegetables. 

Pour in the cream and cook for a few minutes until everything comes together into a creamy mixture. 

Add seasoning, salt and black pepper. 

For an extra cheesy finish, you can add a little cheese. 

Mix well and cook for another minute. 

Your creamy peri peri vegetable mixture is ready. 

Step 2: Marinate and Cook the Paneer 

Take the paneer in a plate or bowl. 

Add a little oil, seasoning, peri peri seasoning and black pepper. 

Mix gently until the paneer pieces are evenly coated. 

Heat a pan and place the marinated paneer on it. 

Cook on both sides until lightly golden and nicely seasoned. 

Keep aside. 

The peri peri paneer is ready to add to your bowl. 

Step 3: Prepare the Peri Peri Herb Vermicelli 

Now it's time for the base of the bowl. 

Use boiled Prolicious high-protein vermicelli. 

Heat a pan and add a little oil. 

Add chopped garlic and sauté until fragrant. 

Add mixed herbs and peri peri masala. 

Cook for a few minutes, allowing the garlic and herbs to release their flavour. 

Add the boiled vermicelli and toss everything together. 

Make sure the peri peri seasoning and herbs coat the vermicelli evenly. 

Finish with freshly chopped coriander. 

Your peri peri herb high-protein vermicelli is ready. 

Step 4: Assemble the Bowl 

Now bring all three components together. 

Take a large serving bowl. 

Add a generous portion of the peri peri herb vermicelli as the base. 

Add the creamy peri peri vegetables on one side. 

Place the golden pan-seared paneer alongside it. 

Finish with some fresh coriander and an extra sprinkle of peri peri seasoning if you like. 

And that's it! 

Your High-Protein Peri Peri Herb Rice Bowl is ready to serve.

What Makes This a High-Protein Meal? 

The best part about this bowl is that protein isn't coming from just one ingredient. 

1. High-Protein Vermicelli 

The base of the bowl is made with Prolicious high-protein vermicelli, so you're starting the meal with a protein-rich component instead of regular vermicelli. 

This makes the bowl more protein-focused right from the base. 

2. Prolicious Up It 

Next comes Prolicious Up It, mixed directly into the creamy onion and bell pepper mixture. 

Up It adds both protein and fibre, making it an easy way to upgrade the nutritional profile of the meal without changing the overall recipe. 

3. Paneer 

The pan-seared paneer adds another familiar vegetarian source of protein to the bowl. 

So instead of relying on one protein source, this recipe brings together high-protein vermicelli + Up It + paneer. 

That's what makes this a convenient high-protein meal combo.

Why This Combination Works 

A good meal should be enjoyable as well as satisfying. 

The vermicelli gives you a comforting base, while the creamy vegetables add softness and flavour. The paneer brings a slightly crisp, golden texture, and peri peri seasoning ties everything together with a spicy kick. 

Meanwhile, the protein-rich components are spread across the bowl rather than being added as an afterthought. 

It's a simple example of how you can build protein into different parts of your meal.

Tips & Variations 

Adjust the Spice 

Peri peri masala can vary in heat. Start with a small amount and add more according to your preference. 

Add More Vegetables 

You can add corn, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots or baby spinach to the creamy vegetable mixture. 

Keep the Paneer Soft 

Avoid cooking the paneer for too long. Lightly searing it is enough to give it colour while keeping the inside soft. 

Make It Extra Creamy 

Add a little more cream or cheese if you prefer a richer bowl. 

Use Fresh Herbs 

Fresh coriander at the end adds freshness and balances the spicy peri peri flavours. 

FAQs 

What makes this a high-protein rice bowl? 

This bowl combines Prolicious high-protein vermicelli, paneer and Prolicious Up It, giving it multiple protein-rich components. 

Is the vermicelli itself high in protein? 

Yes, this recipe specifically uses Prolicious high-protein vermicelli, which forms the protein-rich base of the bowl. 

Why add Prolicious Up It if the vermicelli is already high in protein? 

Adding Up It gives the meal another source of protein and fibre. It is mixed into the creamy vegetable component, so protein is incorporated into another part of the bowl as well. 

Can I use regular vermicelli? 

You can, but using high-protein vermicelli is what gives this recipe its stronger high-protein meal positioning. 

Can I replace paneer? 

Yes. You can use tofu or another vegetarian protein source if preferred. 

Can I make this bowl without cheese? 

Absolutely. Cheese is optional and can be skipped if you prefer.

Smart Takeaway
