Nourish Bowl Formula:

TIPS & GUIDELINES:
No rules: Follow these guidelines loosely and have fun with it!
Use what you already have on hand: Don't make a special trip to the grocery store. This could mean busting out your canned beans and frozen veggies.
Buy pre-prepped foods: To save time, select ready-to-heat grains and fresh or frozen chopped vegetables.
Eat seasonally & support local: Select your favorite foods that are in season at your local farmer's market. This food has been harvested within a few days and hasn't traveled far so it's packed full of nutrients. You are also supporting your local economy.
Eat the rainbow: Choose plant foods in a variety of colors to increase phytonutrient content for increased health benefits.
