It’s called a nourishing bowl for a reason! Filled with veggies, plant-based protein and healthy fats that your body will thank you for. The best thing is, you can add in absolutely any vegetables you like. We’ve chosen japanese pumpkin, broccoli and cauliflower for a variety of flavours but it is also great with crispy kale, sweet potato and brussel sprouts. We also include organic tempeh or tofu - remembering that soy products are amongst the most important to buy organic to ensure they are not genetically modified - for a protein boost, and an avocado for a good dose of healthy fats.
