"Mindfully managing my magic macrobowl (did you see the alliteration there! ). Want to make one too I got you some info righhhtttt below.
Ok so macrobowls are SO good. They are based on the principles of Macrobiotics and are super easy to whip up once you know the rules to play by. They kind of have the same philosophy as my "everything salad": you put them together by simply throwing in everything you've got laying in your fridge. Just follow this simple guideline: 60% of your bowl is for vegetables (root, leafy, and round), 30% for a whole grain/pseudo-grain (such as quinoa or brown rice) and 10% is for proteins (preferably plant based such as beans or seaweeds), try adding fermented foods as well (I added sauerkraut) for general gut health. Of course these rules aren't strict and you can play around with them to see what you like. Then what I do is I make loads of vegetables and grains in the weekends so I can easily put it together during weekdays. No more cooking required.
This bowl has: baby spinach, spaghetti squash, red cabbage sauerkraut, turmeric cooked mushrooms, 1/4 avocado, 1 tbsp hummus, and 1/4 cup of cooked quinoa. Drizzled with a little tahini dressing and some more apple cider vinegar. So good! "

RECIPE:
Ingredients
1 handful of organic baby spinach
1/2 cup roasted spaghetti squash
1/2 cup Sauerkraut (red sauerkraut is extra pretty)
1/4 cup turmeric sautéed mushrooms
1/4 avocado
1 tbsp homemade hummus
1/4 cup cooked quinoa.
The magical macro bowl is all about preparation and assembly. As a general rule of thumb for my macro bowl I look for 60% vegetables - 30% grains - 10% protein and ideally some kind of fermented vegetable.
In the 60% it is good to include a combination of leafy vegetables (such as spinach), root vegetables (such as carrots) and round vegetables (such as zucchini or squash). Grains can be whole grain such as wild rice or pseudo grains such as quinoa. For protein I use organic chicken, fish or plant based protein such as chickpeas (hummus!). Fermented foods can be kimchi or sauerkraut or sometimes I just drizzle some raw apple cider vinegar, which is also a great source of probiotics.
