Are you starting off the new year with a health goal in mind? Me too! I’ve been super into grain bowls lately, since they’re so filling, yet nourishing and balanced.
I don’t love to label recipes as “healthy”, since healthy means different things to different people. But this is a bowl that has carbohydrates, fat, fiber, protein, and plenty of nutrients that your body craves!
You can use this as a base recipe and use your favorite grains, your favorite greens, your favorite nuts, etc. The possibilities are practically endless!
