Ok ladies and gents. If you follow me on Instagram and catch my stories, you’ll notice that I eat this dish almost daily… I have been asked several times what it is, what is in it, and how to make it, etc…. I have decided to share all the details.
Our body does an amazing job at naturally detoxing itself but sometimes it simply can’t keep up. Between the food we eat (think heavily processed, loaded with sugar, fried foods), the amount of alcohol consumed, and even the outside elements, it can all bog down our system. Sometimes we just need to add in a nutrient dense meal to help assist that detoxification. This quick meal does just that.
NOTE: While I included a recipe card, this is one dish that requires some creativity on your part. But don’t worry, the suggestions below will help you out.
Details of this Beneficial Detox Bowl:
1. Start with a base of your choice; kale, spinach, arugula, chard, or mix of greens.
2. Microgreens; always add microgreens (or sprouts) when you can.
3. Roasted Veggies; these will vary throughout the week depending mainly on my mood. Sometimes I roast them the day I eat them, sometimes they are leftovers. My favorite way to roast veggies: Lay prepared veggies in a sheet pan, mix 1 tsp coconut oil, little turmeric, salt, and pepper all over the veggies. Roast at 420 for about 20-30 minutes.
4. Cilantro; a heavy metal detoxifier for the body. If you enjoy eating this herb, it is very beneficial to eat so add as much as you would like.
5. Vegan Parmesan; I love the taste of this. I highly suggest making it, here is the link to the recipe. It stores well in the fridge as is amazing to have on hand!
6. Roasted chickpeas; a little protein pack and crunch on this bowl. YUM!
7. Ground Flax seeds; sprinkle on what you’d like. These are full of fiber, Omega-3’s, and great for digestive health.
8. Hemp seeds; another protein source and Omega-3’s but they are also a great source of Vitamins B1, B2, D, and E.
9. Pumpkin seeds; these alkaline forming seeds are extremely nutritious and packed with vitamins and minerals. I try to eat these daily due to their magnesium properties.
10. Top it off with hummus if you would like!
Stir it all together (because everything mixed together in one bowl is amazing right?!) and enjoy every single bite.
Have fun figuring out what your combos of seeds and veggies are!
I will have to try this!
Let me know what you think Millie. It is my favorite lunch 🙂
