How I fit a variety of foods in?

Homemade grain bowls...

I find that when I customize my bowls to what I like, I am able to include not only nourishing foods but a variety of them!

This is typically how I go about building them (these vary based on what I want in the moment)

1. Start with a base:

   • whole grain option (+ some greens)

     
   
   

2. Top with any veggies you enjoy

   • corn, edamame, peas, sweet potato, carrots, peppers, cucumber, broccoli

     
   
   

3. Fruit

   • berries, mango, mandarin oranges, pomegranate

     
   
   

4. Protein

   • animal (chicken, beef, turkey) or plant (chickpeas, beans)

     
   
   

5. Dressing

   • (recipe here)

     

6. Add a crunch

   • pumpkin seeds, honey sesame cashews, pecans

     

Grain bowls are one of my go-to meals because I can switch them up every day, making it easy to enjoy a variety of foods together!
