You will find that vegans LOVE a bowl. A bowl is basically a catchall of great ingredients with endless possibilities. Who wants to prepare many different plate components? Add it all together in one handy bowl!
Bowls can benefit from some solid condiments like hot sauce to save lackluster ingredients. Also, again, sneak in all the healthy you can here. That means, greens, quinoa and low oil when possible!
As with no-recipe pasta meals, you'll come to know the bowl combos that are your favorites and can start stocking those ingredients. For this bowl, we're going to stick to simple, fresh and super healthy.
Serves 1
- 1 cup quinoa, cooked (sub rice or some other grain, to your taste)
- ½ cucumber, peeled and roughly chopped
- handful of chickpeas, some chopped up baked tofu (you can buy this prepared), or whatever protein you’re into
- ½ carrot, peeled and roughly chopped
- ½ avocado, chopped (if you’ve got it)
- handful of greens – spinach or kale
- juice of ½ lemon
- salt
- olive oil, if using
- optional: Annie's Goddess Dressing
- Put all into a bowl in this order: quinoa (grain), greens, and other veggies. Top with lemon and salt and add a bit of olive oil if you think you need it (you might be able to skip it if you use avocado and mix it all in there!). Optional: top with Annie's Goddess Dressing for a more indulgent bowl.
If you are using kale, I recommend massaging your kale with the lemon juice and olive oil first. This will make the kale easier to chew by breaking it down a bit almost like cooking it does.
