The Hippie Bowl Formula

This very simple formula shows you how simple it is to create a plant-based meal.

Serves 2

THE FORMULA

  • 1½ cups cooked grains or roasted potatoes
  • 1 (15-ounce) can beans, drained and rinsed, or 1½ cups cooked beans
  • 4 to 5 cups cooked or raw vegetables

Spicy Bowl

  • Cooked brown rice
  • Pinto beans simmered in vegetable broth with ground cumin and chili powder,
  • Steamed kale tossed with lime juice

Curry Bowl

  • Roasted Yukon Gold potatoes
  • Chickpeas or lentils simmered in coconut milk with spinach, ground turmeric, curry powder, and ground ginger

Little Italy Bowl

  • Cooked farro
  • Cannellini beans and diced tomatoes simmered with arugula, capers, dried oregano, dried basil, and dried parsle

Spoon the cooked grains or roasted potatoes into bowls. Top with the cooked beans and veggies.

MAKE AHEAD: This is the perfect way to use batch-cooked grains, potatoes, and beans. Prep over the weekend, then reheat and eat during the week.

Formula from my book The Complete Plant-Based Diet: A Guide and Cookbook to Enjoy Eating More Plants.
