I love fancy bowls! They are colourful, yummy, nutritious and so simple to prepare, especially if you food prep like I do. Here are my favourite ingredients to get you inspired, but really, you can make your own version of these by combining your choice of:
grain + protein + greens/raw veggies + cooked veggies + sauce
- Grains:
- Wild rice: a classic for a reason! This will fill you up for long hours and it’s delicious on it’s own.
- Creamy rice
- Quinoa: packed with extra proteins
- Polenta: because why not?
- Proteins:
- Baked tofu
- Marinated beans
- Stir-fried tempeh
- Greens/Raw veggies:
- Lettuce
- Kale
- Avocado slices
- Cucumber
- Beets
- Carrots
- Celery
- Bell Pepper
- Cooked Veggies:
- Asparagus
- Green beans
- Sweet potatoes
- Roasted potatoes
- Mushrooms
- Sauce:
The possibilities are endless! I love that most of these things can be prepared ahead of time giving you a chance to take a break from cooking while still having an amazing meal. Also, if you prepare different ingredients, you can turn your meal into a DIY bowl where everyone can choose what they want to eat. Perfect and fun! Finally, this is the perfect option if you are on a cooking rut: this will keep you statisfied until you find something even more exciting! Let me know what your favourite fancy bowl is! Cheers!
