One-Bowl Meals That Make Eating Well Easier Than Ever (Seriously)


Toss a bunch of stuff in a bowl and you have a healthy meal in minutes. Sounds too easy, right? Food bloggers like Cookie + Kate make it look that way. Instagrammers, like @blendersandbowls, are in on it, too, making healthy eating interesting again, with the one-bowl meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And yes, they really are easy.

The Sprouted Kitchen‘s second book, Bowl + Spoon, shows readers how to prepare “bowl food” by combining grains, protein and vegetables. The book claims that “the bowl is a perfect vessel in which to create simple, delicious, and healthy meals.” You can eat your meal with a spoon, while sitting on the couch (watching True Detective, of course).

Finding the most nutritious combos can be confusing, so here’s a breakdown of how you can create your ideal bowl.

First, choose your base (something like rice or pasta—see, carbs aren’t always the enemy), add in a protein and then a few toppings of your choice. Try prepping these things in your fridge over the weekend so you won’t be opting for fries at lunch (we make the worst decisions when we’re hangry).

Peace Out, Food Baby! 5 Ways to Get Rid of Belly Bloat

Date October 5, 2016



If you’re anything like us, you have a sort of Pavlovian response when you think of holiday meals—that is, you cringe. What starts off with light salivation at the thought of turkey, pies and countless chips and dip soon becomes despair as we’re reminded of that painful belly bloat that makes us reach for a muumuu post-dinner.

But this year it’ll be different, if you take these tips into consideration. Registered holistic nutritionist Andrea Donsky shares how you can beat belly bloat once and for all.

Take digestive enzymes

We naturally have these in our digestive tract, but when we overeat, taking digestive enzymes can help to give our system a boost. “I’m a big fan of Renew Life Digestive Enzymes,” says Donsky. “If you’re eating a lot of cooked foods, which we tend to do around the holidays, experts recommend taking them to help break down the food better so you get less gas and bloating.” You can take these with your meal to stave off that eater’s remorse.

Around the holidays we load up on things like shortbreads, mashed potatoes and meat. We tend to forget about our daily servings of fruits and vegetables, and this can make you less, well, regular. “Eat your broccoli, also make sure you’re including green vegetables, salads, whole grains instead of white stuff,” says Donsky. “Mettrum Originals Raw Shelled Hemp Seeds are great because you can throw them on top of a salad, throw them in a shake, and they also have protein, which helps to wake up our brain.”

Drink some aloe vera juice

This plant is good for more than your skin, but hit the health food section of your grocery store to get food-grade juice. “There’s a company called Lily of the Desert, and I would recommend taking their preservative-free Aloe Vera Juice,” says Donsky. “It helps soothe the lining of the stomach and esophagus.” After all those glasses of wine and eggnog, consider this a critical step.
