    Greek Cucumber Tzatziki Glow Bowl

    Apr 7, 2017 • Follicular Phase, Glow Bowls, Luteal Phase, Ovulatory Phase

    Vegan, Gluten Free. 'Greek Cucumber Tzatziki Glow Bowl'. Refreshing, simple and bright! Kale, quinoa, white bean & cucumber bowl, plus a Dairy-Free, Lemony Dill Cucumber Tzatziki Sauce. #vegan #greek #bowl #tzatziki

    This spring, I’m focusing on new flavors and so far, my tastebuds have been lovin’ it.

    One of those new flavors is fresh dill. I spotted a bunch while wandering the produce section at Mariano’s and it spoke to me! Looking all perky, standing out from the crowd of sad, wilted herbs and I immediately thought “cucumber tzatziki sauce… ?!”, and here we are.

    How unusual, because herbs are chancy in the crummy, winter months but I’ll take it as a sign of spring. April has finally arrived after all!

    This new flavor kick has me all excited and inspired to be in the kitchen. Obviously, fresh dill is nothing new, but is sorta new to me. My usual bowls of brown rice, kale and tempeh have been bringing me nothing but boredom.

    It’s easy to get stuck in a rut and gravitate toward familiar, reliable dishes which believe it or not, 90% of you claimed to struggle with in my reader survey, myself included.

    The survey question read “What do you struggle with when it comes to eating healthy?” and the overwhelming response was “I tend to stick with recipes I’m familiar with”. 

    Not that I was surprised per say, but its just a silly human tendency to dislike change. We all struggle with it, but change is good. Testing new recipes comes with the territory of blogging but I definitely get stuck in ruts too, and after traveling to sunny Florida last week, then arriving home to nothing but clouds and rain… my creativity was seriously lacking.

    I needed to get excited about cooking again. Something as simple as fresh dill did that for me! How gorgeous is it though?!

    Vegan, Gluten Free. 'Greek Cucumber Tzatziki Glow Bowl'. Refreshing, simple and bright! Kale, quinoa, white bean & cucumber bowl, plus a Dairy-Free, Lemony Dill Cucumber Tzatziki Sauce. #vegan #greek #bowl #tzatziki

    I encourage you to branch out and try new flavors with me over the next few weeks. New seasons bring new inspiration if we’re open to it, so let’s embrace this little spark of spring creativity and step out of our comfort zones, at least in the kitchen!

    Ready to dive into this refreshing Greek Cucumber Tzatziki Glow Bowl?!

    I thought so. It’s about time for a new glow bowl around here. Let me tell you, this version is done really, really right and has been a long time coming. I’ve wanted to do a Mediterranean-inspired glow bowl for some time now, but patiently waited until an idea came to me. Instead of browsing Pinterest and getting ideas from other bloggers, (which is very easy to do) I’ve learned that letting the idea come to mind, rather than searching for it, feels much more authentic.

    This Greek Glow Bowl is simple and fresh, with bright flavors of dill, hydrating cucumber and zesty lemon.

    What takes this greek bowl to the next level?

    So glad you asked. Say hello to the creamiest, dairy-free and vegan, tahini-based Cucumber Dill Tzatziki Sauce (with optional jalape?o for some heat). EEK! I hold this lemony sauce responsible for my spark of creativity because it’s life-changing and just what we need to kick off spring.  I’ll be making this all through spring and summer, FOR SURE. Getting sick of this bowl is hard to imagine. Dill is such a happy herb and you can use a whole bunch of it without overpowering the dish. 

    Combine purple and green curly kale, white beans, quinoa, crunchy cucumber and salty green olives with creamy tzatziki sauce and you have magic! This bowl would taste amazing with pita bread too.

    • extra fresh dill, for topping

    Cucumber Dill Tzatziki Sauce

    • 1/2 cup tahini
    • 1/4 cup filtered water
    • 1/2 lemon, juiced
    • 1/2 cup fresh dill, stems are fine to include
    • 1/2 cup chopped english cucumber

    • 1 tablespoon chopped shallot (or green onion)
    • 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup

    Instructions

    1. Divide and arrange all ingredients into two bowls.

Before I started my business, I wasn’t sure what direction my life was headed.

I wanted to lose myself in my baby and felt lucky to be able to do that. But then at one point, I wanted to get back to “me” too. I wanted to feel like myself again. I wanted MORE. 

If you’re looking for more income, more community, more flexibility, more confidence, more friendships, more guidance, more support, more financial freedom, more passion in your life… this business can be the vehicle.

    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.
