Have you tried matcha? 🍵 I made the switch from Have you tried matcha? 🍵 I made the switch from coffee to matcha because I was getting bad symptoms from drinking coffee - jitters, anxiety, poor digestion. 

Here’s why I switched to matcha:
🟢 Coffee hits you immediately like a ton of bricks while matcha comes on slowly. Your body receives the energy gradually so you feel energized without the anxiety inducing symptoms!

🟢 Matcha has a significant amount of antioxidants while coffee doesn’t have any. These antioxidants help fight disease, are anti-inflammatory, and slow aging.

🟢 Unlike coffee, matcha isn’t addictive. Quitting coffee literally causes withdrawal - those symptoms include headaches, fatigue, nausea, and muscle pain.

🟢 Ever notice coffee staining your teeth? Matcha does the opposite, it actually improves your oral health, can reduce plaque buildup, and fight bacteria thanks to the antioxidants.

Matcha is so easy to prepare and can be used in place of coffee for any fun drinks! Next time you’re at Starbucks or your local coffee shop, try switching your drink for matcha and see how you feel!

Kid Friendly Superseed Chewy Bars 🍫 I was int Kid Friendly Superseed Chewy Bars 🍫 

I was introduced to superseed bars through @elissagoodman when I lived in LA and did her cleanse, and have been obsessed ever since! I made a couple swaps to her original recipe - if you’re in LA find them at @erewhon 🧡 

If you’re looking for healthy treats for your kids (or yourself!) these chewy & sweet bars are great and require no baking. A great alternative to store-bought chewy bars which often contain harmful ingredients.

Benefits include:

* ��High in antioxidants
🟠 Healthy source of vegan protein
🟠 Promotes heart health
🟠 Aids in healthy digestion
🟠 Anti-inflammatory

Here’s how to make 16 bars:

INGREDIENTS—
- 1 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cup cups organic brown rice crisp cereal
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 2 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/3 cup almond butter or tahini
- 1/2 cup agave
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS—
1. Grease an 8x8 pan with oil. 

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, brown rice cereal, chia seeds, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, almonds, coconut, cinnamon and salt. Mix until combined and evenly distributed.

3. In a saucepan, add the agave, vanilla, and your nut butter or tahini. Use a rubber spatula to mix well - about 3 min.

4. Pour the nut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined, then fold in the chocolate chips. 

5. Transfer the mixture to the pan and spread into an even layer. Press down to ensure the bars don’t come apart. I start with my rubber spatula, then add a layer of parchment paper and stack on another 8x8 pan. Press firmly down.

6. Place the pan in the freezer covered with the parchment, second baking pan, and a pair of hand weights. Let sit for a few hours.

7. Remove from the freezer and carefully flip the pan to pop out the square. Cut into 16 even squares. Wrap the bars individually in plastic wrap and keep in the freezer, or keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 weeks.

Golden Mineral Broth 🫚🧡🍠🥕 RECIPE ⬇️ 

This mineral broth is my favorite way to stay warm and healthy during the colder months. Not only is it so easy to make and store, it’ll make your house smell amazing! You’ll get alllll the minerals including harder to get trace minerals which are SO healing.

Add 3 quarts of water to a pot and add in:
🟠 2 onions, peeled and diced
🟠 4 garlic cloves
🟠 1 bunch celery, chopped and leaves removed
🟠 5 large carrots, chopped and ends removed
🟠 8 dried shiitake mushrooms
🟠 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
🟠 1 thumb ginger, chopped
🟠 1 thumb turmeric, chopped
🟠 1 cup fresh herbs (I used tarragon and dill)
🟠 6 whole peppercorns 
🟠 1 tsp sea salt
🟠 1-2 sheets kombu - tip from @tamaraluckrdn 🧡 

Bring the water to a boil then simmer covered for 3-6 hours. The longer you simmer, the more flavorful your broth is. I recommend 6 hours if you can. Your house will smell incredible!

Strain liquid into a jar and store in the fridge for a week or the freezer up to 6 months. I recommend splitting the recipe into smaller jars and refrigerating only what you know you’ll consume so it doesn’t go bad.

Kabocha Squash Bowl with Carrot Miso Ginger Dressing – GF, V, Low FODMAP

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
kabocha squash bowl

Kabocha Squash Bowl with Carrot Miso Ginger Dressing.

This kabocha squash bowl is one of my top rated recipes for a reason. It’s packed with delicious and diverse flavors, but is so popular because of the health benefits. If you’re looking to improve your gut health or fight digestive issues such as IBS, SIBO, or leaky gut, start by adding this bowl to your recipe arsenal.

kabocha squash bowl

Gut Healthy Ingredients

This kabocha squash bowl is completely low FODMAP meaning it is extremely gentle on your gut. If you have nasty symptoms of IBS such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or heartburn, a low FODMAP elimination diet is required to reset your gut and learn which foods are causing you trouble. High FODMAP foods such as cashews, beans, avocados, and lentils offer amazing benefits but can disrupt the gut if eaten frequently in large portions.

This kabocha squash bowl contains no high FODMAP ingredients making it totally safe to consume for those struggling with digestive issues. Even if you’re not struggling with your gut, it’s important to take preventative measures and be aware of how to keep your gut in check.

Here are the top ways to achieve and maintain a healthy gut:
  1. Don’t eat the same foods everyday. This will lead to intolerances! It’s so easy to fall into a routine of eating the same meals everyday, but in order for your gut to thrive it needs diversity.
  2. Don’t eat high FODMAP foods frequently in large portions. Eating foods like beans, cashews, and bananas daily and in high volume is what caused my battle with IBS. Again, diversifying your diet and eating as much of a variety as possible is one of the best ways to maintain a healthy gut.
  3. Avoid stress. Sometimes it’s impossible to avoid stress due to work or your home environment. Prioritize a work life balance and consistent morning and evening routine.
  4. Cut processed foods from your diet. Once in awhile it’s okay to indulge, but processed foods (especially in the US) will destroy your gut. Stick to simple whole foods
  5. Stay hydrated. Water strengthens the lining of our intestines which, if weak, can lead to leaky gut. Water also helps to balance the “good” bacteria in the gut.

Carrot Miso Ginger Dressing – Kabocha Squash Bowl

This dressing was inspired by the dressing in a traditional house salad you’d find in Japanese restaurants. I chose to add miso paste which adds so much flavor and is another gut healthy ingredient as miso is fermented. Fermented foods = gut healthy! Inside this dressing are carrots, miso paste, raw ginger, sesame oil, and sea salt. Here are a few healthy brands I trust and use often:

[envira-gallery id=’2641′]

For this dressing you will need a high speed blender. Here are my top picks:

[envira-gallery id=’2439′]

Perfect for Meal Prep

When making this bowl you will inevitably be left with extras unless you are cooking for a bigger group. I make bowls like this on Sunday’s (my meal prep day) that way I can repurpose the ingredients throughout the week. Here’s my process:

  1. Bake the kabocha squash. Chop into cubes and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
  2. Chop a few heads of kale. Any kale works, but I like to do a mix of dinosaur kale and curly kale. Add to a large mixing bowl with the juice of a lemon and couple tbsp of sesame oil. Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Eat as is or sauté a cup or 2 at a time.
  3. Cook 2 cups of brown rice. While you’re at it, cook 2 cups of quinoa which you can use in salads, bowls, or as a side to protein and veggies. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
  4. Thinly slice your lotus root. I prefer my lotus root air fried so they’re nice and crispy, but you can store them raw and just sautee them when you’re ready to eat. Keep in mind if you’re on a low FODMAP diet, don’t eat more than 4 slices in one sitting or it can bring on IBS symptoms.

Kabocha Squash Bowl Toppings

Aside from the health benefits, my favorite part of this kabocha squash bowl are the wide array of flavors. The raw ginger, seaweed snacks, green onions, sesame seeds, and carrot miso ginger dressing add flavor and texture to what could otherwise be a pretty boring bowl. Here are a few of the ingredients I used:

Kabocha Squash Bowl with Carrot Miso Ginger Dressing

Vegan and LOW FODMAP bowl with colorful ingredients including kabocha squash, fresh ginger, spicy kale, shredded carrots, and lotus root paired with a carrot miso ginger dressing.
Servings: 4 bowls

Ingredients

Bowl

  • 1 cup chopped kabocha squash
  • 1/2 lotus root, thinly sliced no more than 4 slices per serving
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce, tamari, or coconut aminos for the lotus root
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil for the lotus root
  • 1/2 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar for the brown rice, optional
  • 1 cup raw chopped kale
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 lemon, juice from
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 large carrot, shredded
  • 1 stalks green onion, thinly chopped
  • 2 sheets seaweed snacks
  • 1/4 cup water chesnuts I purchased mine canned
  • 1/2 tbsp sesame oil for the water chesnuts
  • 1/2 tbsp tamari, soy sauce, or coconut aminos for the water chesnuts
  • 2 small cucumbers, peeled and diced
  • raw sushi ginger topping
  • sesame seeds topping

Carrot Miso Ginger Dressing

  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 2 tbsp miso paste
  • 1.5 tbsp minced ginger
  • 2 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 cup filtered water

Instructions

Bowl

  • Preheat your oven or airfryer to 400 degrees. While it’s heating, chop your kale and add to a mixing bowl. Massage with lemon juice and sesame oil.
  • Chop a kabocha squash and arrange on a parchment lined baked tray face down. Bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees. Once cool, chop into cubes and serve as is or pop in the oven or air fryer for 10 minutes if you want a crispier consistency. Add 1/2 cup to each bowl and save the rest in an airtight container in the fridge. You will have a lot of extras, these will come in handy for weeknight dinners when you don’t feel like cooking!
  • Chop your lotus root into thin strips. Air fry or bake half the batch and sautee the other half in tamari (or soy sauce or coconut aminos) and sesame oil. Alternatively, you can choose one method over the other.
  • Cook brown rice according to package instructions. As soon as it’s done, mix in rice vinegar then cover the rice to keep the steam inside the pot.
  • Lightly your kale in the marinade or just enjoy it as is. If you decide to sautee it, only do so for 3-5 minutes on a medium heat. You want to preserve as many nutrients as possible, so make sure not to overcook it. Sprinkle the final product with red pepper flakes for a little kick.
  • Sautee your sliced water chesnuts in tamari (or soy sauce or coconut aminos) and sesame oil. I purchased my water chesnuts canned so they were already presliced, I find this to be the easiest option. Upon opening the can, make sure to rinse the water chesnuts well to remove all traces of the brine.
  • Prep the remaining ingredients – peel and dice your cucumbers, peel and shred your carrots, thinly chop your green onion, and chop your seaweed snacks into strips.
  • Arrange your bowl with the kabocha squash, spicy kale, brown rice, shredded carrots, diced cucumber, water chesnuts, and lotus root. Top with seaweed strips, chopped green onion, raw ginger, and sesame seeds.

Carrot Ginger Miso Dressing

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. Add water as needed.

Mediterranean Diet Friendly Eggplant Lentil Bowl 🍆 recipe ⬇️ 

When it’s time for dinner I want something fresh and simple. By the end of the day I’m TIRED and I can’t be bothered to make something crazy complicated.

Here I used produce from my garden to make this Mediterranean diet friendly eggplant lentil bowl. It’s filled with nutrients, delicious flavor, and satisfied my hunger. Here’s everything you need to make 2 bowls:

— Grilled eggplant rounds tossed in this dressing ⬇️ 
—Dressing is a mix of olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. I eyeballed the measurements & reserved a bit to pour on top as a dressing
—Brown lentils cooked in water
—Chopped cucumbers
—Chopped cherry tomatoes
—Green olives
—Spinach & arugula

Enjoy 😊

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal 🍎 recipe ⬇️ Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal 🍎 recipe ⬇️ 

If you’re an oatmeal lover you will loveee this apple cinnamon baked oatmeal! It’s comes together so easily and will last you the whole week (& then some!)

Why I love baked oatmeal:
🔴 

Here’s how to make a batch (9 servings) of this delicious fall flavored baked oatmeal:

Grab a blender and add:
1/2 cup apple sauce
4 pitted dates
2 flax eggs (2 tbsp flax meal mixed in water, let sit for a few min to turn into an “egg”)
1 cup @edenfoods soy milk
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cardamom
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Pinch sea salt

To a mixing bowl add:
2 cups @bobsredmill protein oats
1 diced honeycrisp apple
1/2 cup walnuts
1/4 cup raisins

Stir in the blended liquid until well combined. Add the mixture to a greased 8x8 pan and bake at 350 F for 40 minutes. You can optionally add thinly sliced apples on top as a garnish.

Let cool and enjoy, or top with yogurt frosting. I combined 1/4 cup vegan yogurt with 1/2 cinnamon and a few tbsp soy milk. 

Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. 

If you use the same ingredients as above, 1 slice is 248 cal and 10g protein.
