Basic Veggie Bowl
Being a huge fan of raw foods, I often eat my vegetables uncooked. Especially during the summer I consider it as the most refreshing thing to eat (well, right after a big chunk of watermelon!). Whenever my time is limited or I don’t feel like being creative in the kitchen, I chop some vegetables and make a big veggie bowl. They are basic vegetables, nothing too fancy. So it’ll be most likely that I have them at home. I also often add a batch of quinoa, which will give me a good portion of healthy whole grains and enough complex carbs to master the day.
