1) finals suck
2) #SO
3) much
4) everyone needs to try this dinner bowl bc it's the bomb.com/org/edu/gov
ok so i follow like 300 food accounts on instagram & lately i've seen the idea of a dinner bowl floating around. last week i was out of ideas for dinner, so i tried it out....and i'm so glad i did. it only took 10 minutes max to put together, and was sooo filling. (i couldn't finish...which, let's be real, pretty much never happens).
edamame, cucumber, spinach, broccoli. simple, but when used the right way...dynamite. i roasted the broccoli and sprinkled on some nutritional yeast, which has a taste reminiscent of cheese. the limes ended up on the spinach (as well as some toasted buckwheat groats), and everything got dunked in the greek yogurt dip in the middle. it's pretty impressive how full you can get off of some plants.
the yogurt dip is plain nonfat greek yogurt with lime, jalapeno, cilantro, and pepper. it's sort of like sour cream, but infinitely better. love you long time, greek yogurt. the only thing this is missing is some tofu or tempeh. next time i'll add my fav trader joe's tofu. yummmm.
so not-so-long story short, make this. you'll thank me forever.
recipe:
(this made enough for 2 enormous bowls)
a head of broccoli, chopped and roasted (i do mine without oil or salt)
about 1/2 cup edamame per bowl, thawed
one cucumber, sliced
couple handfuls of spinach for each bowl
sliced lime
about 3/4 cup greek yogurt
1/3 jalapeno, diced really small
lime juice!!!!! (i'm lime's #1 fan so i used the juice of two limes...but do whatever tastes good to you)
a couple sprigs of cilantro, chopped
a couple dashes of pepper
nutritional yeast to sprinkle on the broccoli
toasted buckwheat groats for the spinach
arrange however you want! i put my yogurt dip in the middle as a dipping sauce and also bc it was aesthetically pleasing. lol.
