This post was created in partnership with ALDI. All opinions are our own.
Eating healthy, real food is top of mind at the top of the year—and for good reason. On our podcast, we recently learned that what we eat contributes roughly 80% to what our bodies look like. In other words, food has a huge influence on how we look and feel. Enter nourish bowls: a fun, simple way to load up on nutrients and real food while going big on taste. You may have seen them floating around the interwebs. Typically, nourish bowls consist of a whole grain, a bunch of veggies (cooked or raw), nuts and seeds, and a flavorful dressing.
Here, we’ve got a few concepts that are variations on the traditional nourish bowl. These four bowl meals are part of a meal plan we developed for a new partner: ALDI! ALDI is committed to carrying better-for-you ingredients and expanding their organic product offerings (high fives, ALDI!). To kick off 2017, they’ve started a Hello, Healthy blog with healthy living resources including recipes, tips, meal plans, videos, and eating guides. From January through March, the blog will feature content created by us, including meal plans and a few custom recipes. ALDI is working to source healthy ingredients that are easy to find and easy on your budget. We’re stoked to be working together and hope you’ll click over and check out their new online resource.
Now for the bowls! They’re part of an entire 7-day dinner meal plan over on the Hello, Healthy blog. With a wide range of options from vegetarian to vegan to gluten-free, we hope there’s something for everyone.
1. Baked Falafel Salad Bowl
Mediterranean flavors are always number 1 for us. This bowl features baked falafel patties made with fresh herbs and spices, drizzled with a creamy yogurt cilantro dressing. (For vegan, check out our lemon tahini dressing.)
2. Roasted Two-Potato Salad with Honey Mustard Vinaigrette
Roasted sweet potatoes and red potatoes are mixed with a tangy-sweet honey mustard dressing and served over greens. Topped with hard-boiled eggs, it’s a hearty bowl meal. (For vegan, skip the eggs and add some chopped nuts for protein.)
3. Black Bean Burrito Bowl
Who doesn’t love a burrito bowl? They’re customizable for all tastes so the entire family is happy…at least that’s been our experience! We love serving them for a crowd. (For vegan, use chipotle tahini dressing.)
4. Rice Bowl with Kale, Red Pepper, and Egg
This vaguely Asian bowl features kale, mushrooms, and red pepper quick-sauteed with ginger and garlic, and served over brown rice. Top it with a gooey fried egg, and it’s a meal. (For vegan, skip the egg and add some chopped nuts for protein.)
