Bowls! I love them. Whether it’s a smoothie bowl, a noodle bowl or a Buddha bowl, I am diving in. I love the versatility of bowls for every meal of the day; the ability to marry flavors, textures & health benefits in one dish, and of course, as a busy mom, I love that there are fewer dishes to clean up! Truly, how awesome is that?
I am just placing the finishing touches on my 40+ page Rejoice E-book: 20 Blissful Bowls, including 20 recipes for 5 breakfast, 5 lunch, 5 dinner and 5 dessert bowls, along with nutritional information, tools and tips and a template showing how to construct your own perfect bowl. Coming soon so please check out my Shop page.
Here I will share one of my favorite bowls from the e-book, to get you started. The Empowered Hippie Bowl. There are many versions of these bowls, and over the years I have tried my fair share and adapted as I went. This is my go-to, it’s fast, easy & delicious. I make extra sauce and keep in the fridge for a week.
The golden color of the maple tahini dressing comes from adding a little turmeric. Turmeric has many health benefits and has been used in traditional medicine for ages. If you are interested in learning more about the health benefits of turmeric check out my Golden Milk recipe to review the research articles I have included in my references.
