Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner these healthy and satisfying bowls will fill you up and provide so many wonderful nutrients! From fruity acai bowls for breakfast to heartier steak bowls for dinner - fill up your bowl all day long with one of these recipes!
Breakfast
Blueberry Chia Parfait
Chia seeds are excellent when trying to create This Breakfast (or dessert!). Chia seeds are fiber-rich and nutritious, and thicken a pudding without the need for starches. Consider pre-assembling several of these and leaving them in the fridge for when you need a quick sweet treat or breakfast. They can also serve as a cute, healthy hors d'oeuvres when entertaining.
Açai Bowl
Breakfast smoothie bowls are a great way to get in some servings of fruit. They are also brilliantly colored eye candy to get your day started in a healthy way. Have fun garnishing the top of your Açai Bowl with your favorite ingredients like sliced banana, blueberries, granola, and more!
Mains
Sushi Bowl
This bright and colorful sushi bowl from my book, Wandering Palate, will remind you of your favorite sushi restaurant but will be much more affordable by preparing at home. Sushi always wows dinner guests and my sushi bowl is no different.
Buddha Bowl
A buddha bowl is a fresh combination of crisp ingredients, almost like a salad, but filled out with protein atop a hearty base. This version includes cauliflower rice and bright pink watermelon radish for a bowl both delicious to eat and pretty to look at. Find this beautiful bowl and more in my book.
Soba Noddle Salad with Lemongrass Sesame Dressing
Soba noodles are delicious warm or chilled. Serve chilled with this Lemongrass Sesame Bowl and the result is nothing short of amazing. Between the gorgeous bright colors of the food and the tahini sesame dressing that ties it all together your food is both beautiful and delicious.
Ninja Foodie XL Steam Crisp Greek Bowl
The Ninja® Foodi® XL Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer with SmartLid™ is going to revolutionize your life! You can cook an entire meal, in one pot in less than 20minutes! I decided to put it to the test with this Greek Bowl. The lower layer has a bed of greek rice with dill, the center steamed lemon garlic cauliflower, and last but not least our chicken steams and crisps perfectly on the top rack. All in 20 minutes.
Lemongrass Hanger Steak Bowl
For those who find steak a challenge to cook, my Lemongrass Hanger Steak Bowl uses an ideal method to infuse flavor and tenderize the meat. You'll never fear steak prep again. Plus, this recipe will give you some leeway if you accidentally overcook it. The marinade for this is filled with Asian ingredients like fish sauce and sesame oil, which turn this colorful, healthy meal into something rich, nutty, spicy and herbaceous. This is a perfect dish if you are one to meal prep as well, most of the components can sit ready made in your fridge. Simply cook the steak before you plan to eat and you are good to go!
Taco Bowl
If you enjoy the taste of tacos but don’t want the carbs, this taco bowl salad from my book will become an instant favorite. The combination of tender, shredded beef, fruity tomatoes, and zesty cilantro will be a satisfying combination with no need for the usual taco shells.
Mediterranean Bowl
This bowl is reminiscent of Greek cuisine with dill flecked cauliflower rice and all the components of a classic Greek salad. Hardboiled eggs and chicken bulk the mixture up so you can feel satisfied for a long time after eating. Find this recipe and more in my book.
Poke Bowl
Poke is a classic Hawaiian dish consisting of raw fish and Asian ingredients like sesame oil or soy sauce. Rather than soy sauce, however, tamari is the ideal since it is gluten-free. Alternatively, you may use coconut aminos which has a similar fermented flavor. If you don’t have a spiralizer to create the daikon noodles for the base of the bowl, simply use a vegetable peeler to create long strands of the radish. Enjoy this bowl as a taste of vacation year round.
Caribbean Salmon Bowl
This Unique Fish Bowl is wonderful during hot weather with its tropical flavors of coconut and mango. Salmon is a firm-fleshed fatty fish that is rich in vitamins B12 and D, as well as Omega-3 fatty acids, and selenium. All these nutrients make it a great choice for your table any day of the week. Although any mango will taste great in this rice bowl, search for one that is ripe but still firm fleshed so it is easy to dice into cubes without becoming mush.
