Sweet Potato Buddha Bowl

lunch, Recipes

This bowl is so delightful for lunch. It can be eaten either cold or hot. I personally prefer to heat it up before eating it. I meal prep the ingredients ahead of time which makes it SO EASY to throw together in the morning for lunch in the afternoon. It’s easy to whip up if you have the roasted sweet potato cooked.

You can substitute pretty much any kind of meat, or veggies here! But this combination is heaven.

Recipe: Yields 1 Buddha Bowl

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4-6 Cups Baby Spinach
  • 1/4 Chopped Avocado
  • Micro Greens * (optional but helps boost nutrients)
  • 4 oz. Ground Turkey
  • 1/2 Cup Roasted Sweet Potato
  • 2 Tablespoons Hummus
  • Coconut or Olive Oil for Cooking

DIRECTIONS:

  • Start by heating a non-stick skillet, and adding a little bit of oil.
  • Add your spinach. It won’t take too long for it to cook and wilt. It may seem like a lot of spinach but it will get smaller once it’s sauteed. You can add bell peppers, or mushrooms here to boost the flavor and a little bit of salt and pepper if you wish.
  • Next, assemble the bowl. Place the cooked spinach, then the rest of the ingredients and top with hummus.
  • If you meal prep this recipe, simply heat it up in the microwave for 1:30-2 minutes and then stir it all up and eat it.

*Note – this recipe stores well in the fridge for about 3-4 days!*

Bon apettite!

The Best Healthy Tuna Salad

lunch, Recipes, salads

I am not kidding when I call this “The Best Healthy Tuna Salad” EVER! I was always convinced that tuna salads were never going to be the same without mayo…and don’t get me wrong…those are childhood favorites! But this one may just be my ALL TIME favorite. It has no mayo, but has full healthy fats. It’s satisfying, has amazing texture, wonderful sweetness from the sweet potato, and creamy! You can also skip the bed of greens and add this to a wrap or put it on 2 slices of bread for the best sandwich! I’ve made this a weekly staple in my house 🙂

  • 2 Cups Mixed Greens or Baby Spinach
  • Vinaigrette of choice or extra ACV for finish

Hope you enjoy this recipe!
