Rainbow nourishment bowls with maple tahini dressing

These rainbow nourishment bowls with maple tahini dressing make the perfect healthy, nutritious and plant-based meal! Did I mention how easy they are to put together too?

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression before…”eat the rainbow.” Well, I’m going to make that easy for you today!

Eating various plant-based foods of different colors have so many health benefits! Different colored foods actually have many different nutrients in them. Carrots are orange, and high in beta-carotene, while dark leafy greens contain a lot of folate.

Basically, eating various different colored plant-based foods will help you make sure you’re getting all the vitamins and minerals your body needs!

Also, eating rainbow colored foods looks pretty too. And doesn’t having a rainbow nourishment bowl with maple tahini dressing sound a lot better than just having a salad?

I love making colorful buddha bowls for lunch during the weekdays. (Like you may have seen on my Instagram here or here.)

One thing I love to do is prepare my ingredients in advance so I can save on prep time when it comes to making lunch. I usually do this on a Sunday and make a big batch of quinoa, shred some cabbage, carrots…etc. and store them all in a Tupperware in the fridge.

These rainbow nourishment bowls with maple tahini dressing are:

• Packed with plant-based power

• Filled with vitamins and nutrients

• Will give you your intake of veggie servings for the day (they’re loaded with veggies!)

• Naturally vegan, gluten-free, paleo

If you’d like to mix things up, feel free to add any veggies you like to these bowls. (get creative! Any vegetables you like will work.)  You can also top them with your favorite source of protein. I like to enjoy mine with a side of tempeh!

I’d also recommend making a double batch of the dressing to store in a jar in the fridge. This dressing goes great on all salads, so you can enjoy it throughout the week!
