Guide to Building Nutrition Bowls

& my favorite Fall 2021 Nutrition Bowl Recipe

Nutrition bowls fall at the base of most of my meals! They are easy, quick, filling and versatile, especially when it comes to using up leftovers. Nutrition bowls offer loads of nutritionally beneficial foods and different flavor options for fall, winter or summer and breakfast, lunch or dinner! 

Through the following steps, I’ll show you how to build your own customized nutrition bowl and share my favorite fall 2021 nutrition bowl recipe. 

Step 1: Grab your grain!

Grains are high in fiber and contain nutrients essential to your diet, including B vitamins, iron, zinc and fiber. My favorite source of grain is either brown rice or wild rice.

Step 2: Add your choice of protein!

Add some density to your bowl with your choice of protein! What is great about nutrition bowls is that you can use whatever source of protein of your choice, whether that’s meat, fish or legumes. Some of my favorite sources of protein include: salmon or chickpeas. 

Step 3: Mix up your veggies!

EAT YOUR VEGGIES! Vegetables are high in a variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants as well as fiber and water. They’re the end all, be all! When adding vegetables to any meal, I look to add as many colors to my plate as possible. Different colors mean different health benefits, so mix it up!

Step 4: Put that healthy fat in there!

Fats are incredibly important in your diet. Fats help your body absorb vitamins and offer a high amount of energy. Some of my favorite fat foods I include in my diet are avocados, salmon and a variety of nuts.
