Bowl meals are just
so. great. Aren’t they? I love the combination of a whole grain foundation, with layers of seasonal produce, plant proteins, and fruits. You can use this strategy for meal prep: Just get the ingredients all together to create several grab-and-go, packed up meals for the week. Or I love to prepare all of the ingredients and let the whole family build their bowl the way they like it. No matter what, this is a healthy plant-powered meal strategy that is here to stay. That’s why I really love this completely plant-based (vegan) Turmeric Rice and Black Bean Bowl, which is topped with jewel-toned black beans, pomegranate seeds, avocados, green onions, and yellow bell peppers. It all starts with this super flavorful golden turmeric rice. Then the toppings are all fresh and easy. You can even change up the toppings per your taste preference or season. Try cauliflower florets, cucumbers, radishes, and chickpeas, for example. The sky is the limit on creativity.
