As we welcome the new year, it’s a perfect time to embrace a fresh approach to meals, making them as nourishing as they are flavorful.
Nourish bowls are a wonderful way to create well-balanced meals that are simple, nutrient-packed, and perfect for both busy days. The beauty lies in their simplicity, allowing you to prep ahead and create well-balanced, nutrient-packed meals that keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Here are our five key components for building the best nourish bowls:
Grains or opt for starchy veggies
Set the foundation of your nourish bowl by using wholesome grains such as our organic black rice, white quinoa, bulghur wheat or opt for roasted root vegetables. These complex carbs ensure you stay fuller for longer.
Protein
Your protein choice becomes the anchor, setting the theme for your nourish bowl. Choose from options like tofu, chicken, salmon, eggs, or legumes to help balance your blood sugar levels.
Seasonal veggies
Add vibrancy, texture, and fiber to your bowl with seasonal vegetables. Whether you want to roast them for depth, grill for a hint of smokiness, sautée for extra flavor, or keep raw for crispness, vegetables play a crucial role in enhancing both the visual appeal and nutritional content of your nourish bowl.
Dressings & sauces
Craft your own dressing from pantry staples – try our Simple Tahini Dressing, Easy Wholegrain Mustard Dressing or for an exotic Asian-inspired sauce with a deep, umami rich flavour, try our Peanut Coconut Sauce.
Toppings & garnishes
Use fresh herbs to garnish and enhance the flavour profile, you can also introduce a delightful crunch with roasted nuts, seaweed, sliced almonds or sesame seeds, and incorporate creaminess with avocado, feta, or hummus.
This year, let your meals reflect your commitment to a healthier, balanced lifestyle. With each thoughtfully chosen ingredient, you can nourish your body, mind, and the planet—one delicious, nourish bowl at a time!
