If you are new to healthy eating or just looking for new ways to nourish yourself, consider the humble bowl. 
Up ’til now, you may have known bowls simply as ‘ice cream holders’ or ‘the thing that I put Fruit Loops in’, but I invite you to take a second look at all those bowls lining your kitchen shelves and how they can help you eat more healthfully.

Much like smoothies, one-bowl meals are a great way to stuff extra superfoods and nutrients of all kinds into your diet. Whether I start with a chia porridge, a whole grain like quinoa, or even just a pile of fresh greens, there is always an easy way to concoct beautiful, one-bowl meal recipes with all the healthy seeds, fruits, herbs, veggies and fats your body needs!
