It’s an easy plant-based creation that is weeknight friendly & meal prep approved!

As the temperature gets cooler, it’s time for another cozy recipe. While I could be sharing with you another comfy soup creation, I thought it would be a tasty switch to do a wholesome veggie bowl. Hence, this Delicata Squash & Quinoa Nourish Bowl.

To put simply, it’s a healthy creation that is filled with hearty ingredients that warm your soul. While the base of the bowl is delicious on its own, my honey dijon vinaigrette is a must. It’s a combination that combines pantry staples and elevates the dish. Don’t skip or skimp!

Full of flavor, vibrant in color, and packed with nutrition. With that, be sure to have it saved, especially when you need a break from soup.

Ingredients

• Organic White Quinoa: To provide these bowls with nutty flavor, along with protein and fiber. You can use any color that you have on hand – white, red, or multi-color quinoa all work.
• Organic Delicata Squash: Technically you can use your preferred squash, but delicata adds a nice sweetness. Also, with delicata, there is no need to peel. Just de-seed and slice!
• Organic Brussel Sprouts: If you don’t have those on hand, swap for fresh or frozen broccoli!
• Organic Sauerkraut: Red Beet & Cabbage if we’re being specific. It adds the perfect earthy, yet sweet flavor that takes this nourish bowl recipe to the next level. My favorite brand is Wildbrine!
• Organic Avocado Mash: Be sure to use a ripe avocado, to transpire the creamiest result.
• Organic Greens: Any greens work great. I used Earthbound Farm’s Organic Power Greens which is a combination of baby spinach, baby red and green chards, and baby kale.
• Organic Honey Dijon Vinaigrette: A must for any nourish bowl is a delicious dressing. My honey dijon vinaigrette is the perfect mix of sweet and tangy.

How To Make

• Quinoa. Prepare quinoa as package instructions.
• Roasted Vegetables. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. On a sheet pan lined with parchment paper, add the sliced squash and brussel sprouts. Toss with the avocado oil & seasonings. Bake for 20 – 25 minutes, flipping halfway.
• Avocado Mash. Begin by mashing the avocado. Then mix in the remaining ingredients.
• Honey Dijon Vinaigrette. In a bowl, combine all ingredients to a bowl and whisk until fully combined.
• Assemble. Divide the greens, quinoa, roasted veggies, and sauerkraut between bowls. Top with a dollop of the avocado mash and drizzle with the vinaigrette. Enjoy!

Tips for Making this Nourish Bowl Recipe Perfectly

• Organic Squash: Technically you can use your preferred squash, but delicata adds a nice sweetness. Also, with delicata, there is no need to peel. Just de-seed and slice!
• Organic Vegetables: Feel free to add in even more veggies! I think carrots, cauliflower, and or broccoli would pair deliciously! 
• Manuka Honey: If you don’t have manuka honey, you can substitute it with local raw honey or pure maple syrup.

Fridge Storage. Transfer the ingredients to separate air-tight glass containers & refrigerate for up to 4 days.
