We spent Chat #184 discussing foods with benefits – meaning, foods that do something for us as we eat them. So, for all of those days where you feel like you might not be incredibly in control of what you’re eating it’s important to have good, beneficial meals that you can prepare quickly and easily.
I got the idea for this bowl after seeing Casey have a delicious looking power bowl from Taco Bell and knew I had to make a version “with benefits.”
What do I mean by that? The ingredients in this recipe serve your body well by creating instant gratification results like keeping you hydrated, reducing swelling by cutting sodium, adding fiber to fight sluggishness, and more!
Note: You’ll notice that my version is vegan. Personally, I’m not vegan or vegetarian but I don’t eat a ton of meat so I love to use meatless options in these recipes! Feel free to replace the meatless crumbles with your protein of choice.
