    Baked Vegan Falafel Glow Bowl

    Baked Vegan Falafel Glow Bowl. Vegan, Gluten Free. Super simple and flavorful! #vegan #falafel #baked #plantbased #glutenfree #glowbowl

    Finally a new glow bowl recipe. Meet my ‘Baked Vegan Falafel Glow Bowl’!

    I love a good falafel.

    Not too much garlic, lots of detoxifying herbs, flavorful spices, shredded kale, a little fresh lemon juice and protein-packed chickpeas. I have no idea if these are considered “traditional” or not, so if you are expecting a traditional falafel recipe, then don’t judge. I make up recipes and go off of taste rather than whether or not they are deemed true or traditional. I added shredded kale ha, and way less garlic than normal (because garlic lingers no matter how many times I brush my teeth or scrape my tongue) and I don’t think that’s the norm for falafel recipes?!

    Either way, these are flourless and made of veggies, greens, spices Soco tahini, and chickpeas. Sometimes simple is best! They don’t fall apart, they’re not too sticky and they turn golden brown in the oven. Too hot to turn on the oven? Then fry them up in a pan! They’re very forgiving and will taste amazing whether they are baked or fried.

    What I love about these golden discs of deliciousness is that they’re different. They’re unique (to me) and they’re not plain chickpeas thrown in a bowl. They’re a little more gourmet than that (and a lot more delish!) but are still super easy and simple to make. But trust me, I love throwing plain chickpeas in a bowl amongst other things when I need something quick.

    What else lives in this delectable Falafel Glow Bowl?

    • lemon-y massaged kale
    • the crunchiest cucumber
    • addicting tahini sauce
    • hemp hearts
    • extra lemon (I’m really into lemon lately)
    • extra parsley (very detoxifying)
    • optional onion

    If you’re in a lunch or dinner slump, this bowl is worth trying. You can meal prep a batch or two of falafel over the weekend and serve them for lunch or dinner throughout the week! Have you tried the vegan green falafel from the Whole Foods salad bar? I like them, but they have wheat and vegetable oils that I can live without, so these are the next best thing (and much healthier too!).

    TGF TIP: To make your life WAY EASIER, you must get these salad choppers! They have been a game-changer for me and are my most coveted kitchen tool now! Because they chop up kale, veggies and herbs, you save so much time and energy. Plus, in my opinion, every salad is better when the ingredients are chopped up small so you get a taste of everything with each bite. I highly recommend, especially if you are like me and get lazy in the kitchen sometimes!! These will change your life 😉

    Description

    Baked Vegan Falafel Glow Bowl with fresh herbs and tahini sauce. Vegan, Gluten Free. Super simple and flavorful!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1/4 red onion
    • 1 cup kale, de-stemmed (or spinach; I’ve used both!)
    • 1/2 cup fresh parsley
    • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
    • 3 tablespoons hemp seeds
    • 1 tablespoon tahini
    • 1 teaspoon cumin
    • 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic (or more, to taste)
    • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
    • 1/2 lemon, juiced
    • 1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

    Tahini Sauce

    • 2 tablespoons tahini
    • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    • 1–2 tablespoons water (to desired consistency)
    • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup

    Extra Optional Ingredients

    • kale
    • chopped english cucumber
    • red onion
    • extra lemon juice
    • extra parsley/cilantro

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use nonstick spray.
    2. Add all ingredients (except chickpeas) to a food processor and pulse until shredded and well combined. Then add in the chickpeas and pulse until chickpeas are smoothly blended in.
    3. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Take 1-2 tablespoons of mixture and form into small patties with your hands. Each time I’ve tested this, I get 7-8 falafel patties.
    4. Place patties on baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes.
    5. Serve in a bowl with the optional “extra” ingredients, and drizzle with tahini sauce.
    6. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • I de-stemmed and shredded two large kale leaves, then massaged the kale with my hands using 1/2 lemon + 1 teaspoon maple syrup. It’s totally optional but the lemon softens and breaks down the fibrous kale leaves, making them much more appetizing, ha! You could also steam the kale which I often do too, for easier digestion.

    SHANNON // Hair Growth Tips
    FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 These 3 tips have really FOR MY OILY GIRLS 🦄 

These 3 tips have really helped me combat the annoying oil to the point where now, I only have to wash twice a week. I’m sure you guys already know that washing LESS helps the scalp to stop overproducing so much oil. So washing less is the goal ⚡️ and I can help you get to this point because I know it’s scary/hard to do. But we also have to remember that oil after a couple days is completely normal, so there is a balance here.

Obviously these tips along with the right shampoo and conditioner for YOU is KEY. If you’d like a free custom consult you can DM me HAIR or take my Hair Quiz linked in my bio 🩷🙂🦄⚡️💅🏻👑🔥💛

    Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & ha Have you checked the ingredients in your skin & hair products lately? Your dry shampoo? 

The USA bans only 50 ingredients from cosmetics, 500 in Canada and 1300 in Europe! 😱😱 Did you know my products go be European standards? 

With the chemicals and environmental pollutants etc that we are exposed to daily that we can’t control, we can choose wisely the products we use and slather on our bodies/heads. Your skin absorbs EVERYTHING you put on it, your skin is your largest organ.

I’m sure you heard about the recall of millions of dry shampoos for containing BENZENE which is a cancer-causing ingredient that you are inhaling and spraying on your scalp multiple times per week. Many of them are STILL on the shelves! 😡 I have a better option for you that does not contain talc (an oil absorber also connected to cancer), propane or butane either, which are all connected to allergies and eye, lung and skin irritations.

Let’s do better for our hormones, skin, hair, health, kids health and environmental health. Let’s get you started on better products that you can trust.

Take my HAIR QUIZ linked in my bio or DM me HAIR and I can get you started 🧴🧴🧴🧴

PRODUCTS USED:
• anti-frizz blow out spray 
• the best ever dry shampoo
• texture spray for grit and hold
• flex control hairspray
• optional glossy shine mist

    after a lot of soul searching.. I almost gave up after a lot of soul searching..

I almost gave up on my dream of being a SAHM while having an income. I thought I would have to choose one or the other. My head was spinning about it. But right before I gave up, an opportunity to sell naturally-based haircare products landed in my lap. Immediately it felt right.

Since then, my confidence has soared because I’ve been able to foster my independence and identity apart from being a mom. Mentally, this has been life-changing. I love being a mama more than anything and I also love having my own thing. My own business to build. My own income. I’ve realized you really can have the best of both worlds. I’m not just saying that mamas. 

Yes it takes work and time to build a business but it’s YOURS and no one else’s. We are so powerful when we put our minds to something. And so productive because we don’t have time to waste. 

If you’ve been looking for something like this and want more information on what this partnership would look like, just DM me BIZ and we can chat about it 🩷🩷🩷
