mediterranean diet: barley & butternut bowl
just one of 1,000s of ways to build a (healthy) bowl
I have been a big fan of balance bowls, aka buddha bowls, nourish bowls, grain bowls or hippie bowls, for a very long time because they make my life so easy.
When you meal prep a few ingredients early in the week, you have an infinite variety of options for tasty ways to build a bowl that satisfies all your healthy needs in a very personal way. Like two of my favorites, barley & butternut squash, that you’ll find in the recipe below.
But if you’re looking for a little inspiration to create your own favorite, look no further than this Mix & Match Guide to build whatever kind of bowl you fancy.
