Being a personal trainer in the city, I often gravitate towards quick and healthy lunches, and this bowl is no exception. It’s inspired my favorite bowl at a place called Eat Little Beet in Midtown NYC.
But being that were still in quarantine and cooking everything instead of ordering out, I decided to make my own bowl similar to the one at Little Beet. Between all the different ingredients and textures it’s one bowl that will leave you feeling super satisfied!
- Roasted Chicken
- Avocado Hummus
- Brussel Sprout “Slaw”
- Sweet n Spicy Sunflower Seeds
- Pickled Red Onions
All these smaller components from the avocado hummus to sunflower seeds, go so well not only with each other, but in so many other dishes as well! One of my favorite ways to enjoy the hummus is spread over some toast with the pickled onions in the morning for a quick and easy breakfast or snack!
Watch how it’s all made:
