    with a lemon tahini drizzle on top

    filled with tons of delicious and nutritious vegetables, this vegetable buddha bowl recipe is not only good for you but it is simple and easy to meal prep for the week.

    IT IS OFFICIALLY SPRING y'all! i can already feel it in the air (especially since i've been in florida for the past month). we're all more upbeat and ready to take on days with the sun shining above us. however, we are also ready to focus on incorporating more whole foods into our diet, right? if you're like me and struggle to make time to cook during busy days...this vegetable buddha bowl is for you! are you constantly in a time crunch during the week and need something nutritious to get you through the day? this recipe will be a life (and time) saver! or you might just be craving a delicious bowl filled with tons of veggies. and i LOVE that! you can easily meal prep the ingredients for this vegetable buddha bowl on the weekend and then throw it all together during the week.

    this bowl features one of my favorite plant-based snacks, Bada Bean Bada Boom, broad beans! They are high in protein and the perfect addition to give this bowl some extra crunch. they offer so many different flavors, both sweet and savory. my favorite ones to use in this bowl are the garlic & onion, sea salt or the everything bagel. but you really can't go wrong with any of them!

    another one of my favorite parts about this bowl is the variety of textures. you get the crunch from the broad bean snacks, as well as from the tofu. the roasted broccoli is perfectly crisp on the outside which contrasts the fresh cherry tomatoes and spinach, which add lightness to the dish. this vegetable buddha bowl is so easy to prep each of these ingredients ahead of time for when you're extra busy during the week. you'll have a healthy meal that's not only good for you but tastes good tool!

    let's get cooking, shall we?

    Ingredients
      

    • 1 bag spinach

    Instructions

    • drizzle olive oil and mix until all are coated
    • roast in the oven for 20 minutes then flip

    • put back into the oven for 10 minutes, flip the tofu and then bake for another 5 minutes
    • let cool slightly
    • combine the tahini and lemon juice until fully incorporated. you can also add in a little bit of water to thin out the dressing depending on your desired texture
    • once the tray is cooled slightly. grab your bowl and add in the spinach, roasted broccoli, sliced cherry tomatoes, crispy tofu, bada beans and sun flower seeds
    • drizzle on the dressing and ENJOY!

    notes

    • you can add or subtract ingredients based on your personal preferences / allergies. a great addition would be some roasted sweet potato or sautéed onions.
    • sub any seeds / nuts depending on preference, i love the roasted sunflower seeds for both their flavor and size
    • the broad beans and tofu tag team to make this a high protein meal, perfect if you're vegan / plant-based
    • add roasted garlic to the lemon tahini dressing if you're a garlic lover like myself
    • if you liked this recipe, you will also like my roasted vegetable wild rice bowl and lentil bolognese

    i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tart i have never met anyone who didn’t like pop tarts growing up, have you?

let me introduce you to my adult version of this childhood favorite. i use lantanafoods Dark Chocolate Hummus as the filling and it was a dream come true 🍫 it adds just the right amount of sweetness, taking me right back to my childhood but without the sugar hangover 🤪

HOW TO MAKE ⬇️ 
1. cut two rectangles out of pre-made pie dough
2. add about 2 tbsp of hummus in the center and spread it out a little without going to the edges
3. press along the four sides with a fork
4. bake in the oven at 425 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until the dough is golden and fully baked through
5. cool slightly and enjoy!

    have you tried the shaved egg trend?! if you have have you tried the shaved egg trend?!

if you haven’t, give it a try! it makes the egg texture so light and fluffy when you bite into it. it’s a fun way to switch up your avocado toast for breaky 🍳🥑🍞

all you need to do is make hard boiled eggs then grab a cheese grater. simple and delish!

    i could eat this cake for breakfast every. single. i could eat this cake for breakfast every. single. day.

not only because its delicious but this protein chocolate cake is good for me too! there is no added flour, just protein powder combined with egg and banana to make the base. 

i used safeandfair chocolate protein powder (that’s also kid friendly) because it adds such a delicious flavor while also sneaking in some veggies! the protein powder has a nice texture, giving you a cake that’s moist and fluffy. 

want the full recipe? send me a message and i will share it with you 🍫🍰
