roasted sweet potatoes, crispy parmesan chickpeas, fresh kale, and a spicy cilantro dressing.
Another post-holiday glow up bowl with so many incredible flavors, you'll be having this one on repeat.
It's high protein, with budget-friendly, clean ingredients, and it is perfect for meal prepping.
The bowl base is fresh kale, massaged with a little lemon and sea salt. Next come perfectly roasted sweet potatoes, dusted with a pinch of cinnamon, and crunchy parmesan chickpeas. Add some diced cucumber or even zucchini! Choose your favorite protein (I love herby chicken and turkey meatballs. They pair so well with the rest of this bowl) and then drizzle over a spicy yogurt jalapeño dressing. Nourishing and so very tasty.
"This dressing is so addicting, you'll want to pour it over everything."
Why you NEED this bowl?
*Minimal Effort - Using a sheet pan and a blender for the dressing.
*High Volume - to fill you up and keep you satiated.
*Fresh herbs and veg – use as many fresh ingredients as you can. Trust me when I say it makes a world of difference.
*Creamy + Spicy Dressing - More macro-friendly, using plain nonfat Greek yogurt instead of mayo, bright, zingy, and fresh.
