This is a great vegetarian bowl with loads of protein coming from the tofu and edamame. Feel free to substitute meat, poultry, or fish for the tofu. To create grill marks on the tofu use a grill pan. Give the tofu a quarter turn after the marks appear, turn over, and repeat.  The kale is also a brain healthy food to consume.

1/4 lb (113 g) extra firm tofu, diced
8 cups (600 g) finely chopped curly kale (pre chopped if desired)
2 small yellow or orange beets, grated (1/2 lb) (225 g)

1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) pepper
