Have you noticed that everything looks better and tastes better when you serve it in bowls? We might have made this fact up… but we sure know that whenever we post a merrymaker lunch bowl it gets double the likes than lunch plates. Weird, but true! There is some kinda bowl craze going on.
Anyway lets talk about this delicious Merrymaker bowl recipe. It’s too good, too real, too yum.
We just mixed up all our ingredients into a one big Merry rainbow bowl. But maybe next time we’ll separate everything… because that looks COOL!
Our Merrymaker Bowl is mostly green veggies, then we added a little quinoa for some healthy carbs, tomatoes and AVOCADO… because avo makes everything better!
You can swap the ingredients to your favourites. Not a fan of avocado? Well first off, you’re bonkers (avo is the best invention) but you can swap to roast pumpkin, sweet potato or beetroot or whatever your tummy desires! Follow your gut (hehe). And then you could even add some chicken or boiled eggs and leave out the quinoa completely!
This Merrymaker Bowl is officially the best best way to use up any leftovers!
Always merrymaking,
Emma + Carla
