GYG Bowls


We recently discovered Kris Carr and her books and website Crazy Sexy Life.   Her journey with food is fascinating!  I hope you will read more about her and the amazing power of food in her life!
We've adapted the following recipe to throw in our Grab Your Green (GYG) bowl (compliments of Dawn's artistic side.)  Kris calls them Buddha Bowls and they start with a grain such as quinoa or millet.  You add all your leftover RAW veggies for a meal packed with nutrients!  Using avocado makes it creamy!  

Note:  Pomegranates and Blueberries were dessert :)
Quiona or Millet (prepared according to the package)
Add all your favorite veggies!  The combinations are endless!  Toss and Enjoy!  Here are a few we love!
-broccoli or cauliflower (cut in tiny florets)
-finely chopped greens (kale, romaine, arugula, spinach, etc)
-onion or scallions
-grated carrot, zucchini, squash, beets
-diced celery, cherry tomatoes
-1 – 2 cloves fresh garlic
-ground flax and/or chia seeds
-avocados 
-lemon juice 
-sea salt or Braggs Amino Liquid
-dash of cayenne

  1. Our family loved this...we used brown rice, chickpeas, red and yellow pepper, broccoli, ground flax, braggs, and avocado is the "difference-maker" if you ask me! My hubby and our dinner guest added cayenne. YUM...and EASY. The key is that the hot rice or quinoa slightly cooks the veggies!
