Synopsis:
Power bowls are the latest big thing in the foodie world—we now see smoothie bowls, breakfast bowls, Buddha bowls, macro bowls, poke bowls, quinoa bowls, and flex bowls on upmarket menus and health blogs alike. So what is the appeal? A substantial part is linked to macrobiotics, the idea that fresh, unprocessed local produce is always the tastiest and healthiest, and that a varied combination of food groups will give you the perfect balance of nutrients. The 50 bowls in Bountiful Bowls focus on breakfast bowls, savory snacks and lunch bowls, salad bowls, main meals in a bowl, and dessert bowls, each one with a clear emphasis on fruit, vegetables, beans, or alternative sources of protein. The bowls are often colorful and visually appealing, based on bright natural colors and appetizing texture—crisp red bell peppers, deep red tomatoes, crunchy pale green salad leaves, blanched red-rimmed circles of radish, the lush purple of beets, small blocks of feta, or the inviting oranges, yellows, and greens of split peas or lentils. So it’s time to embrace the bowl in all its glory, with dishes such as Beet and Pomegranate Smoothie Bowl, Crunchy Noodle Beanfeast, Grilled Chicken and Slaw Bowl, Veggie Burger Bowl, and Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Bowl.
Review:
Bountifull Bowls is a great book if you are looking at keeping up your new year goals, and eating better, more nutritious food, in appropriate serving sizes. The book covers all meals, including breakfast, lunch and dinners, as well as snacks and desserts. Everything is meant to be served in a bowl, and to me it is the perfect book for lighter Spring/Summer eating, as it gives you some really unique flavor combinations, that you may never have thought of before, like the recipe I'm sharing below. The recipes really allow you to take advantage of seasonal food and come up with great tasting meals everyone in the family will love.If you want to change how you eat, this book can also help, thanks to the handy guide (above) on every recipe, letting you know if they are Gluten-Free, Vegeteraian, Dairy Free, Raw and or Vegan! Plus you guide a calorie and diet guide on the bottom. For example the recipe below is only 544 calories and 34 grams carbs, 31 grams protein and 20 grams of sugar. If you're looking for a healthier way to eat, be sure to pick up this cookbook!
