because it is simply the easiest way to eat you can prep all of your ingredients on the weekend make your sauces and then all during the week you can just throw your meals together in a bowl top it with your sauce and you're ready to go i think one of the major reasons i was able to be consistent and finally lose 70 pounds was because i kept it simple my meals they needed to be easy to throw together because i don't have a ton of time i'm a busy mom and i knew that in order to be able to be consistent and eat the food that i needed to eat to be healthy that it needed to be sustainable so i'm going to show you guys three easy bowls that are full of nutrition and they're so tasty and easy to throw together so first i'm going to show you guys my buffalo chickpea bowl it is so good and then you just top it with some of my ranch and then i'm going to show you my southwestern bowl again another one of my favorites and then my spring roll bowl again you can prep for all of these at the beginning of the week have everything ready to go and then go about your week and when it's time to eat you just throw everything into a bowl top it and dig in so remember you guys can follow me on

let's look at these bowls show you how to make them and throw them together [Music] so for this buffalo chickpea salad it's really really simple you're just going to start with a really big bowl and i mean big like this one is the size of my head you want to make sure that you're eating enough so i'm going to fill this bowl with some baby spring mix it's my favorite mix of greens you can fill it with whatever greens you enjoy but this is a really great way to get in all those nutritious greens every day then i'm going to slice a cucumber and add that to my salad then i'm going to slice up some red onion and then i'm going to add some chopped tomatoes and of course you can add whatever vegetables you like i just feel like these simple veggies go really well with the buffalo chickpeas and yeah it's super simple all right so now i'm going to make the buffalo chickpeas and all i'm going to do is take a can of these garbanzo beans or chickpeas and this is my favorite brand i like them because they soak them before they cook them so now i'm going to mash the chickpeas down and i like mine to have a little texture so that's why i don't throw them in a blender or in a food processor i don't like them creamy i like them to be definitely kind of just broken up in there so now i'm just going to take some buffalo wing sauce now you guys may be able to find something from the health food store i personally cannot find anything at the health food store that doesn't have eggs or dairy in them so this is the best i can do at my little local market is this frank's red hot wings sauce so if you can find something that's a little bit cleaner and better then definitely go for it but this is what i'm gonna use so i'm just gonna throw two to three tablespoons in here you can make it as saucy and as hot as you want just be mindful of how much you put in especially if it has oil in it so then you're just gonna mix it up so it looks like this and then it's ready to go on top of your salad so i like to add anywhere from half a cup of this to half of the can for one serving and then i will top it with my ranch dressing and i will of course link all of these recipes for you guys below if you haven't tried my ranch you should really try it it is so so good it does have some cashews in it you can cut the cashews in half you can also use hemp seeds if you're allergic to nuts or you can swap out the nuts and seeds for beans instead to make it a nut free and lower in fat dressing but i just like to use the cashews it's honestly less calories per tablespoon than balsamic vinegar plus you're getting the nutritional benefits of moderate amounts of nuts and seeds so this southwestern salad bowl is another one of my favorites it's really really easy to prep for for the week it's nice and easy to have everything ready to go and then you can just throw together this yummy filling salad whenever you're ready to eat so i'm gonna again start with a large bowl this one is the same size as the last one i showed you and i'm gonna fill it full of greens and i'm gonna add some chopped tomato then some sliced red onion then some shredded carrots and again you can add whatever vegetables you would like to your salad but i'm just adding the ones that i like and are easy to have prepped now i'm just going to add some cooked rice yes brown rice is better for you it has more nutrition i just cannot get to a place where i enjoy brown rice so if you like white rice only like me you know i didn't have any trouble losing weight with white rice so give it a try if you want to do better than i'm doing then definitely go for the brown rice now i'm going to add some canned black beans that i have drained and rinsed [Music] and a little corn i also love a little jalapeno and these are coming from my neighbor down the road and from her lovely garden and finally i'm going to add just a few little slices of avocado all right so now i'm going to show you guys how i make my southwestern ranch and it's basically my ranch recipe with added chili powder and lime zest and then i like to stir in some cilantro at the end but i am actually out of cilantro if i had any you guys know me i would have sprinkled it all over my salad already again i'm going to start off with some cashews and then i'm going to add some garlic powder and onion powder if you are allergic to nuts you can sub it with hemp seeds and if you want to be completely nut and seed free you can just use white beans i'm going to add a little salt and add a few teaspoons of chili powder and then i'm going to zest my lime into here and i just like this because it gives it a really bright limey flavor so then i'm going to add either a little bit of vinegar or a little bit of lemon juice whatever you have on hand and then i'm going to add a little bit of plant milk now the original recipe calls for soy milk but i know a lot of people don't do soy however the soy is what makes it really thick and creamy so just know that if you use a different milk like i'm using today it is going to be a lot runnier it still tastes great it's just not going to be as thick and you can of course play with the amounts to adjust it and make it as creamy as you like and there you go super easy it's a great idea to prep all of your sauces at the beginning of the week that way everything is ready to throw together and dress [Music] so this spring roll bowl is one of my absolute favorites so again you're going to start with a huge bowl of greens and then i'm going to take this julienne peeler and just julienne these carrots you can also buy shredded carrots if you don't want to do this and i just found this julianne peeler on amazon i will link it for you guys below and after i julie and the carrot i then julienne my cucumber and i do a big batch of this and keep it in my fridge and it'll last for two to three days that way it's like super quick and easy to just throw these bowls together then i'm gonna slice up a green onion and now i'm gonna add my steamed rice to the top and i love cubed mango in this salad i don't know why it just adds so much flavor and is so delicious i love mango in my spring rolls when i make them so i love to toss them into the spring roll bowl and then i have some of these gorgeous young pea shoots i love these they have a really clean flavor and they're nice and crispy then i'm going to add just a few slices of avocado and that is what the bowl looks like so now i'm going to show you guys how i top it and it's really really simple you don't have to make any dressings so the first way to top it is with a little seasoned rice vinegar and some low sodium soy sauce so i just put equal parts of this on i'll put one to two tablespoons of the rice vinegar on and then one to two tablespoons of the low sodium soy sauce and it's ready to eat now if you want to stay away from soy and vinegar there is coconut aminos i like the teriyaki sauce ones they also make a really good garlic one and then you can just drizzle that on top as well all right guys that is it for me today i hope you enjoyed this video again if you are trying to improve your health or lose weight the biggest tip i can give you is to keep it simple keep your meals as simple and sustainable as possible bowls are a great option you get loads of veggies and greens and legumes and whole
