Easy Nourish Bowl Recipe
Nourish Bowl Recipe
Some meals make you feel like, for those few minutes you are eating it, you really have your sh*! together. That’s how a meal like this one makes me feel!! I know I am nourishing my body, it tastes insanely good, and I made enough to enjoy it over a few days. #winning
After wrapping up some one on one meetings with my team today, I realized this past week has been a doozy for a lot of people . . . I thought it was just me. Nope! A lot of us are feeling burnt out.
So! If you can relate, how about doing something really nice for yourself this weekend . . . like making yourself a nourish bowl!
Small acts of kindness and nourishment for ourselves have big impacts.
Roasted Veggies
Roasted veggies, especially root veggies like sweet potatoes, are incredibly grounding. Grounding foods are an amazing way to help your body handle stress.
Roasting a pan of veggies to have on hand for salads and nourish bowls during the week sets you up for healthy success!
Protein and a Delicious Dressing
To keep life simple on this one, I rinsed a can of chickpeas and tossed them in a little olive oil, salt and pepper to give them some flavour. I also love marinated baked tofu and grilled chicken as my sources of protein.
Full disclosure I stole some of the dressing we use on our Rainbow Nourish Bowl to have on hand when making this bowl. It’s either that or YESHI dressing for me. I talk about Yeshi so much you would think I am getting paid for it . . . I’m not. I am just literally obsessed with every dressing they make!

All of these individual items you can make in batch quantities then spoil yourself with your efforts for days!
BED OF MASSAGED KALE Opting for kale massaged with a little lemon, oil and salt helps break down the kale, making it easier to digest and a lot more flavourful. Kale is more grounding than other leafy greens, so if you are feeling burnt out, it’s a great addition to your diet.
GRAINS. Quinoa or brown rice will do the trick.
ROASTED VEG. My fave's are sweet potato and broccoli.
TOSS IN SOME PROTEIN. You' don’t need to stop at one! Chickpeas, tofu or grilled chicken are my favourites.
GET YOUR FATS! Top with avocado, nuts, seeds, parmesan or feta.
DRIZZLE YOUR FAVE DRESSING. Lately I have been obsessed with @yeshidressing
If you have been feeling burnout, adding in more complex carbohydrates can help. This ain’t no summer salad - this is a hearty, filling, grounding bowl of nourishment!
Hope you enjoy!
