0 4K views

Thank you Village Harvest for sponsoring this post.  Every day Village Harvest is planting seeds of change and growing possibilities, one bag of goodness at a time. 
Super easy, flavorful, nutrient packed Earth bowls that can be made in your very own home! Packed with protein & antioxidants! Happy Friday everyone! Today’s recipe is all about light and healthy meals, and is the perfect meal for your pre or post workout!

I was inspired to create an Earth Bowl, by one of my FAVORITE salad restaurants Sweetgreen. Now I know you guys have heard me talk about them a lot! Remember when I visited the Drake Family goat farm during their Instameet last year?This bowl is PACKED with nutrients and proteins! Not too long ago I stumbled on Village Harvest Organic Benefit Blends, and I wanted to give them a try as I’m always looking for healthy grains other than my weakness, rice! All of their mixes are gluten free and are a unique blend of rice and grains! Village Harvest is more than just rice, they are about discovering new possibilities at home in the kitchen, or thousands of miles away in the fields.  Something Better Starts Here.

They’ve got 3 blends:

Organic Antioxidant BlendOrganic Ancient Grain Blend and Organic Protein Blend

I was super excited to try the Organic Antioxidant blend because it’s a mixture of some of my favorite grains; black rice, lentils, and quinoa! Sounds amazing right? They offer a distinctive combination of healthful goodness. Not only that but it’s super easy to make! All you have to do is follow the instructions on the package! Fool proof! These Earth bowls are so easy to make, and make a great recipe for meal prep! I normally prep all the ingredients on Sunday, and make enough to have this at least 3 times during the week. Makes my life so much easier! Check out the recipe below, and  if Village Harvest isn’t in your grocery store fill out this form: clvr.li/VHBRequest to get it in your stores!
