Rainbow Bowl
If your meals are full of colorful things grown from the ground, it’s a good sign. This is a good basic template for a balanced meal: protein, veggies, healthy fats, and complex carbs.*
Ingredients
Protein of choice
Ground turkey pictured
Butternut squash
You can crisp them up in the air fryer for ~20 min at 400°
Beets
I like adding beets to a few meals per week because they are little nutrient powerhouses. You can buy them pre-cooked at Trader Joe’s.
Greens of choice
Steamed kale pictured
Add-ons
Add whatever other colors you’d like! Bell peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, etc.
I drizzle this with 1-3 tsp of olive oil for healthy fats.
*Complex carbs (like starchy vegetables, whole grains, beans) are digested more slowly than simple carbs (like sugar or white bread), giving you steadier energy, more fiber, and keeping you full for longer.
