1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees. 2. Line tray with foil and cover with sweet potato, chickpeas, broccoli and onion. Drizzle olive oil and add to taste; salt, pepper, tumeric, garlic, or any other seasoning you like. 3. The veggies will take about 20-25 minutes to cook. Toss at least once, and check sweet potatoes for tenderness to ensure they're cooked fully. 3. Once your veggies are done, set aside to let them cool while you build the rest of your bowl. 4. Cook your chosen protein. We use tempeh or tofu which we cook in a bit of olive oil on a pan for 5-10 minutes. 5. Kale; some people like theirs crispy and some like theirs slightly sauteed. I prefer mine slightly sauteed which is just adding a bit of water and kale to a pan and cooking on light heat for a few minutes. If you prefer yours the way it is, then go ahead and just add a cup to each bowl. 6. Once the kale is added and veggies are cooled a bit, add the veggies to the bowl with 1/4 avocado in each bowl with your favorite dressing. 7. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge in airtight container for up to 4 days.

Buddah Bowls aka hippie bowls, grain bowls, nourish bowls were a huge hit in 2019 and no doubt they'll be a huge hit in 2020 too. What are they made of? The great thing is they don't have an exact recipe, buddah bowls can all be quite different but they are typically made of various greens, raw or roasted veggies, beans, and a healthy grain like quinoa or brown rice. Sometimes they also include toppings like nuts, seeds and dressings for added texture and flavor. If you're meal prepping for the week as long as the dressing is on the side these bowls would be a great option! They pack a good amount of healthy calories in a little bowl but can also be expensive and add extra calories if you're eating out.
