Nourish Bowl
What's great about it
When I need something sustaining for lunch or dinner, I love to make a Nourish Bowl, filled with nutrient-rich ingredients that will elevate my health to the next level. The Nourish Bowl includes nutrient dense veggies, healthy fats, and quality proteins for a delicious and satiating meal. The Nourish Bowl is what I call a huge salad bowl... the base can be spread with a creamy dressing such as my hummus, baba ghanoush, avocado dip or green tahini. This provides essential fats and proteins that will assist with nutrient absorption when you eat it.
Ingredients
Serves 2
- Greens - baby spinach, cos lettuce, rocket, kale, micro greens, sprouts etc.
- Proteins - nuts + seeds, tahini, hummus, organic eggs and wild-caught fish, organic chicken.
- Healthy fats - avocado, extra virgin olive oil, olives, nuts, seeds, tahini.

Method
- COMBINE kale, zucchini and iceberg into separate bowls.
- MASSAGE the kale with a little olive oil, lemon juice and salt for 1 minute until it starts to wilt......what I love about this salad is that it keeps well for 3 days in the fridge, so it's a meal you can enjoy when you're busy and stressed for time.
- DRIZZLE a little olive oil and lemon into the zucchini and toss through...you can also add fresh herbs or fold through freshly made pesto.
- SPREAD hummus over the base of 2 serving dishes.
- TOP with kale, lettuce and zucchini.
- CUT an avocado in half and arrange over each salad.
- GARNISH with pumpkin seeds and enjoy.
Notes and Inspiration
I've used massaged kale, shredded zucchini and shredded iceberg lettuce.
As a base, I've used homemade hummus to add protein and healthy fats.
