Winter Buddha Bowl

It has gotten quite cold in Los Angeles and I’ve been craving warming and nourishing foods. For all you east coasters, not as cold as you all are experiencing but you don’t move to LA to accessorize your tee shirt with a winter hat. I have been throwing together so many bowls that feel nutritious but really satisfying as well and this Winter Buddha Bowl has been one of my favorites lately.

It is packed with nutrition and is something you can meal prep and have for the whole week. Here’s what the nutrition profile looks like:

  • Avocado: A healthy fat that can lower cholesterol, provide potassium benefits, and increase your fiber consumption

  • Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds: The “sprouted” part makes them easier to digest, they’re high in immunity boosting antioxidants and magnesium which helps regulate digestion and calm your nervous system

  • Sprouted Rice: A great grain for eliminating bloating and cramping, it’s a highly nutrient dense food which can provide a dose of critical minerals

  • Kale Pesto: Besides being delicious, this gluten and dairy free pesto alternative is filled with heart healthy greens

  • Delicata Squash: High in vitamins C and B, this squash also has plenty of fiber, magnesium, and manganese to keep blood sugar stable and your digestion regular

  • Pomegranate Seeds: A strong antioxidant that helps with blood regulation, aches and pains in the body, and keeps your skin clear

  • Spinach: Heart healthy, good for eye sight, digestion, and so much more - you can sautee this too with garlic for an added immunity boost

That’s it! It’s a super simple recipe that is as delicious as it is nutritious. Enjoy!
