Make A Grain Bowl With Me
Wow! Something other than carbs!!! Today I was feeling healthy so I decided to make this delicious grain bowl!!!! This bowl is completely customizable. What I like might be completely different from what you like. Try it out, make it your own, and let me know what you think!
Pick Your Ingredients
Like I said before, add what you like. My advice is to get a mix of flavors and textures.
I opted for mushrooms, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, tortilla chips, and my base, farro.
Your base is the most important part. I chose farro but some other options are quinoa, jasmine rice, or even sushi rice! All depends on the vibe you are trying to go for.
Prepare Your Ingredients
Get your ingredients ready!!! I like my ingredients to be bite sized, so I opted for a smaller bite. I would recommend this to all of you. By cutting it into smaller pieces, it makes the overall bite of the bowl better.
Finish Prepping Ingredients
Instead of leaving my ingredients as is, I decided to cook my mushrooms in some olive oil and salt and pepper. I am not a huge fan of plain, uncooked mushrooms, so this was best option for me. I was also thinking about caramelizing my onion. I am going to do this next time!
Make Your Base
For my farro, I decided to microwave it instead of cooking it on the stove. Do whatever is better for you, but make sure to follow the directions on the bag.
Choose Your Dressing
Today I decided to go with the basic, olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Since I already have a good amount of flavor, this combo added the perfect touch. I also LOVE to put a thinned out version of tzatziki. Some other options are tahini and balsamic vinaigrette.
Put It All Together!!!
The moment we have all been waiting for…… put everything together!!!! Include as much of each topping as you would like. If you want to make it aesthetically pleasing, organize it by topping!!
This bowl was amazing. It kept me so full and is the perfect way to get your veggies in.
Try this out!!! I want to hear what you choose to include in your bowl!
