    Green Goddess Glow Bowl

    Mar 3, 2015 • Follicular Phase, Glow Bowls, Main Dish, Menstrual Phase

    Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

     The 'Green Goddess Glow Bowl' ?? ready in 20 minutes! vegan + gluten free, a protein packed healthy recipe with a savory tahini lemon dressing. lean, clean and green! from The Glowing Fridge

    Lean, clean and green.

    That’s what this Green Goddess Glow Bowl is all about. The best part about it? 

    20 minutes is all it takes. We need all the quick, healthy and green recipes we can get right?! With quinoa, kale, zucchini, edamame and a oil-free creamy tahini lemon dressing, your body will love this wholesome green goodness. You will feel nourished, energized, light and glowing – the way every recipe should make you feel. 

    Have you tried my popular Sesame Kale Glow Bowl or my colorful Kale Glow Bowl with pumpkin dressing? This goddess bowl fits right in. I’m realizing all of my Glow Bowl recipes have a theme; they all have kale, they all take less than 20 minutes and they’re all glowing with health 🙂

    Quinoa and kale seem to be the front-runners for so many healthy recipes – and for good reason. For plant based vegans, quinoa is one of the best options for a complete plant protein with all the amino acids (9g protein for 1 cup), plus it’s naturally gluten free. A leafy green like kale provides a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, plant protein and fiber – all essential for radiant skin and health. I love zucchini because of it’s low calorie, high vitamin and high water content. Edamame is one of my favorite ways to add essential nutrients plus extra plant protein to a meal with a whopping 13g of protein for 1/2 cup! Lentils are a perfect substitute for edamame if you need a replacement in this dish.

    The deliciously creamy + simple dressing is made with tahini, fresh lemon juice plus a little maple syrup which complement all of the flavors perfectly and add that nice savory element. You can buy my favorite organic tahini here. This recipe makes the perfect amount for 2 servings.

    Creating bright and beautiful recipes is a way for me to express my love for art and color. I’ve been an artist since I was little; painting abstract, bright, uplifting and vibrant pieces. The walls in my house and my parents house are filled with my paintings! While I’m not painting at this time in my life, I plan to bring out my paint brushes again when the time is right because I miss it so much. So for now, I can release my creative and artistic side by creating nourishing recipes like these, styling and designing the food backgrounds and photographing the shots, which I love. Photography has opened up a whole new artistic side for me – it’s something I was never into until I started blogging and realized how important the pictures are. That perfect shot is worth everything and makes all the difference, even if it occasionally takes 2 hours and a zillion different angles for me to capture it 🙂 I’m learning and improving everyday!

    Print Recipe
    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup quinoa, uncooked (I used tricolor quinoa)
    • 2 cups water (or vegetable broth for extra flavor)
    • 1/4 cup vegetable broth (or 1 tablespoon coconut oil, if you cook with oil)
    • 1/3 of an onion, chopped
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 cup edamame, frozen
    • 1 zucchini, chopped
    • 2 cups kale, de-stemmed
    • salt and pepper, to taste

    Tahini Lemon Dressing

    • 1/4 cup tahini
    • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (approx. 1 lemon)
    • 1 tablespoon maple syrup (or agave nectar)
    • sea salt, to taste

    Instructions

    1. In a medium sized pot, add quinoa and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and cover for 15 minutes or until water is absorbed.
    2. In a separate pan, heat the vegetable broth (or oil; I no longer cook with oil) and sauté the onions with the garlic for 2 minutes. Add the frozen edamame and zucchini. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add the kale last and cook about 1 minute until softened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Turn off heat.
    3. Prepare the dressing in a small bowl by adding all of the ingredients and whisking until smooth.
    4. Scoop the quinoa into a bowl, top with the vegetable mixture and drizzle on the dressing.
    5. Enjoy!

    Notes

    • Leftovers stay well in the refrigerator up to 3 days.

      Note to self…pay attention when buying frozen edamame …buy the already shelled…oops! In the shell texture…not so much good. But the rest super awesome just like all the other “glowing fridge” recipes I have tried. Thanks Shannon you have inspired me!

      Omg made this tonight and it will definitely be a monthly if not weekly meal. Got my boyfriend to lick the bowl clean (and he’s one of those I-hate-healthy-foods type men). I must admit since we are not veagan I did top it with grilled chicken and it was delicious. Also seasoned the quinoa with lemon and garlic. Can’t wait to try out some more recipes!!!

      Oh god, this was so damn good! You brought a much needed bit of summer into a very dark and dank winter day – thank you 🙂 I added some fresh basil because I had some in my fridge and I have this whole lemon and basil thing going on right now – fitted in a treat!

          It will be interesting to see who the Hornets would want on the Lakers. Would they want Andrew Bynum? Or like most teams in small markets that trade superstars… would they rather have the expiring contracts of Sasha and Odom (team option). And would the Lakers be better off solving their PG problem but creating a gaping hole in the middle if they traded Andrew? Many questions…

    yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority bu yes, being a mama will always be my #1 priority but in that I’ve sort of lost myself.

It’s my own doing too so don’t feel bad for me 😂 because it truly never felt right to leave my girl. We are very attached. Am I crazy? Yes, probably. But I’m okay with that. I realized my baby will be FINE if I go get a professional haircut or a pampering pedicure. Idk what changed but I think it’s the fact that I’m noticing more wrinkles and my hair could use a transformation. It’s greasy, heavy and lacking life. So I’m getting a haircut this week 💇‍♀️ I’m changing to a customized hair care system AND I’m scheduling a hydra facial because my skin desperately needs hydration. My skin, hair and nervous system need some serious self care haha.

Mamas, it may not feel right just yet to prioritize you but the time will come. Just follow your intuition 🖤🖤🖤 you deserve it.

    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀
