by

I wanted to share with you this Roasted Sweet Potato Quinoa Kale Bowl. Veggie Bowls all about combining your favorite ingredients. If you don’t like one ingredient, switch it out for another.

Basics Ingredients for a Veggie Bowl:

  • Grains (Quinoa, Rice,Barley, Buckwheat, Oats)

  • Greens (Raw/Steamed/Sautéed)

  • Veggies (Raw/Steamed/Sautéed)

  • Beans/tofu/tempeh

  • Dressing or sauce. (Squeeze of lemon)

If you batch cook or meal prep, you can easily make a quick delicious bowl in a short amount of time.

For this bowl below, I roasted sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts and made quinoa. Then topped with red onion, avocado and balsamic dijon dressing. Then mixed in some sautéed kale.

Other options: use raw kale or steamed, any type of potatoes, swap out brussel sprouts for asparagus or any veggie you like. You can also add in some beans.

Some people have a hard time digesting raw veggies like kale so you can always steam or sauté the kale in some water (I did this for this bowl).
