Quinoa, Lentil, and Farro Nourish Bowl
Lately I have dramatically increased my vegetable intake. I am already a huge fan of of the produce department, but when my boyfriend is away for work I do not buy meat and eat mostly vegetarian. One of my favorite things to eat is a huge nourish bowl. I will often make one after a workout or for lunch. It is basically a salad with a spectrum of ingredients ranging from seeds and roasted vegetables to dried fruit and grains. You can absolutely add meat or protein of your choice. The one I am sharing with you today is a vegetarian nourish bowl, but grilled chicken would be a wonderful addition. Simply take a look in your refrigerator or pantry and get creative!
