1. The buddha bowl

Rather easy to make as it has a formula to it.

First, choose your greens: spinach, kale, arugula, romaine or mixed greens.

Next, pick a starch: rice, quinoa, potatoes, yams, pumpkin, barley.

With the third step, you get to load it with colour: broccoli, tomatoes, cucumber, carrot, bell pepper and cabbage. You can even add some kimchi for a winter-y, spicy addittion.

Then comes your protein: edamame, lentils, tofu, tempeh, beans or chicken if you eat meat.

Healthy fats will elevate your bowl further: avocado, nuts, seeds, tahini, hummus or olive oil.

And finally, your spices: hot sauce, cilantro, lime juice, garlic, onion or nutritional yeast if you’re vegan (if you’re not vegan, still give nutritional yeast a try, as it brings a kick and that cheesy taste without the dairy).

2. Roasted vegetable bowl with green tahini

This recipe is as easy as it sounds. First, you roast your veggies: carrots, potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower with olive oil and salt. Then, you prepare your green tahini: half a cup of olive oil, half a cup of water, quarter cup of tahini, a big bunch of koriander – or parsley if you don’t like the fragrant leafies -, 1 clove of garlic, half a lemon’s juice and salt. Following the above formula, you can add protein such as chicken, tofu or hard boiled eggs, and healthy fats in the form of an avocado. Roast the veggies, blitz up the sauce and by the time you took a shower and read a few pages of your favourite book, dinner is ready!
