After all my Valentine’s indulgence (which carried over for a couple more weeks… opps), I am trying to get back into health-mode. I have had a bunch of “detox” meals pinned and wanted to get on trying some of them… first on the docket – a Green Goddess Bowl!
Green Goddess Bowl
adapted via Lunchbox Bunch
Step One – Layout the following:
- 2-3 cups cooked grains (I used couscous, but quinoa, barley, brown rice are all great options)
- 2-3 cups sautéed greens (I used 2 heads of broccoli, 1 head of kale and sprinkled some edamame – you can use any green veggie you like, brussel sprouts, peas, spinach, etc.)
- Sweet Accent: I used citrus (I used a Cara Cara orange, but grapefruit could be a great option)
- Garnish: Avocado and fresh chopped green herbs
Step Two – Sauté Greens:
- Sauté green ingredients on med-high until tender with the following ingredients:
- 2 Tbsp white miso paste
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 Tbsp blood orange olive oil
- 2 Tbsp minced garlic
- Pepper to taste
Step Three – Fold:
- Add to large bowl and fold together:
- 3 cups fluffed couscous (or another cooked grain)
- Some orange zest and juice of 1/2 an orange if you desire
- Sautéed Greens
Step Four – Garnish:
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Chopped fresh herbs (I used cilantro, but basil, chives or parsley work too)
- 1/2 cup chopped green onion (red onion would work as well)
- 1 large orange, peeled and diced
Step Five – Dressing:
