Easy & delicious Vegan protein bowl


This bowl has everything a healthy vegan needs: protein, fiber, vitamins & nutrients. It's also simple to assemble and filling. The Japanese soba noodles I used are full of fiber and complex carbohydrates (none of those processed simple carbs) and add a delicious twist to this bowl. See below for directions.



Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 10 mins

Serves 2

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cooked Soba buckwheat noodles (can be found at most grocery stores or Whole Foods)
  • 2 heaping handfuls baby greens (I used a mix of baby kale,  baby red & green chard & baby spinach)
  • 1 cup canned Great Northern beans (feel free to use black, pinto or kidney if you prefer)
  • 1 medium avocado, diced
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes (I used the yellow variety for some added color!)
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumber
  • Braggs Liquid Aminos - (can be found at Whole Foods. I use it in place of soy sauce because it has way less sodium and still tastes great! Spray as much as you want - I used 4 - 5 sprays per serving for this recipe. 

Directions:

  • Cook the soba noodles according to package directions. Drain and set to the side and allow to cool.
  • Chop & dice all veggies.
  • Grab a heaping handful of greens and place at bottom of bowl you will be eating from
  • Add soba noodles on top of greens
  • Layer beans on top
  • Add all other veggies on top
  • Spritz some Liquid Aminos over the bowl and like magic you have a delicious vegan protein bowl! For even more protein, sprinkle some cashews or pepita seeds on top!
