    Hippie Macro Glow Bowl

    Hippie Macro Glow Bowl. Vegan and Gluten Free. A balancing blend of nourishing quinoa, leafy greens, saut?ed broccoli, crunchy cucumber and tomatoes and kraut with a creamy maple tahini dressing. The perfect combination for a feel-good meal! From The Glowing Fridge.

    The Hippie Macro Glow Bowl.

    Balancing, nourishing, optimal for digestion and delicious. Time to eat like a true yogi would.

    Similar to the plant based vegan lifestyle, the macrobiotic way of eating supports overall wellness by eating mindfully and naturally, but it delves deeper into what you actually put on your plate and shifts your perspective on food altogether. It supports a healthy body by decreasing imbalances in your yin and yang forces by healing your internal cooling and your internal HOT, with food. Focusing on the philosophy of how you live, your macro bowl reflects your greater purpose. Interesting, right? 

    I’m ALL about this kind of stuff haha. I dig it.

    Have you ordered the ‘Sesame Kale Macro Bowl’ from Native Foods?! It rocks my world… my most popular glow bowl, the ‘Green Goddess Glow Bowl’ was based off that dish but this new glow bowl incorporates more of the classic macrobiotic bowl ingredients.

    Starting with a base of fluffy quinoa followed by massaged kale, saut?ed broccoli, heirloom tomatoes, crunchy cucumber slices, crumbled tempeh, smoky jalape?o kraut (from Farmhouse Culture @ Whole Foods) and a sprinkling of sesame seeds, finished with a maple turmeric tahini dressing. I mean…

    I could eat this every single day. No joke. There’s something about the combination that’s on point and makes me feel so good.

    Totally satisfied. Totally balanced. Totally nourished from the inside. 

    Hippie Macro Glow Bowl. Vegan and Gluten Free. A balancing blend of nourishing quinoa, leafy greens, saut?ed broccoli, crunchy cucumber and tomatoes and kraut with a creamy maple tahini dressing. The perfect combination for a feel-good meal! From The Glowing Fridge.

     Make your own Macro Bowl by including:

    • 50% whole grains: quinoa, brown rice, barley or millet
    • 40% vegetables: bonus points for including leafy greens like kale (!) or choose your faves like broccoli, carrots, mushrooms, sprouts, cucumber etc. whatever is local and in season
    • 10% plant protein: tempeh, beans, lentils or tofu
    • fermented veggies and/or sea vegetables: sauerkraut, kimchi, dulse, kelp, kombu or arame
    • creamy nut or seed based dressing

    I kept all the veggies raw except for the broccoli which I saut?ed with a little non-stick coconut oil spray from Trader Joe’s (buy the coconut spray here). I like to include a mix of raw and cooked veggies. I love the fermented vegetables (sauerkraut) because they provide healthy living probiotics for a happy tummy so don’t knock them until you try them! They truly add a lot of depth in flavor.

    My bowl doesn’t completely follow the guidelines above so feel free to customize it to your liking (eat with the seasons!) but be sure to include lots of color and variety. When you love your food and it looks beautiful, it tastes even better.

    Hippie Macro Glow Bowl

    ★★★★★ 5 from 1 reviews

    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 cup quinoa, cooked
    • 3 cups raw kale, de-stemmed
    • 1/2 lemon, juiced (to massage kale)
    • 2 cups broccoli florets
    • 1/3 block of tempeh, crumbled
    • 1–2 cups baby heirloom tomatoes, halved
    • 4–6 slices fresh cucumber
    • 1/4 cup sauerkraut (or more, to taste)
    • sprinkling of sesame seeds

    Maple Turmeric Tahini Dressing

    • 1/4 cup tahini
    • 1/4 cup water
    • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
    • 1 tablespoon low-sodium tamari (or liquid aminos/soy sauce)
    • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

    Instructions

    1. Start by massaging the kale with fresh lemon juice to break down the fibrous leaves. Let sit for about 10 minutes.
    2. Heat a pan on medium-high heat. Spray with non-stick coconut oil spray and sauté the broccoli just until softened, about 4-5 minutes. Don’t overcook it to mush!
    3. Start assembling your bowls by dividing the cooked quinoa, kale, broccoli, tomatoes, cucumber, sauerkraut and optional sesame seeds.
    4. In a small bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients and whisk until smooth and creamy. Pour over your macro bowls.
    5. Mix it all up and dig in! Enjoy!

    I thought about adding avocado as well, but it wasn’t quite ripe enough. Creamy avocado would make this bowl even better, I’m sure of it.

    Avocado is life.

      I made a pared down version of this. Tri-color quinoa, cherry tomatoes, broccoli, carrots, chia seeds, sesame seeds, and sauce. Tahini and soy sauce taste SO good together and the turmeric gives it a gorgeous yellow color. I didn’t feel like the syrup was necessary but I don’t typically enjoy super sweet dressings. This was a good introduction to quinoa for me.

      I know this recipe is a bit old but I’ve only found it a month or so ago, and have made it 3 times now. I LOVE the dressing and the bowl is so easy to customize to what you have on hand. After trial and error, my family prefers the broccoli steamed, and the tempeh sautéed in tamiri before putting the bowl together. I also double the dressing and eat it with veggies the following day. Thanks for an easy, healthy & delicious recipe.

      This was incredible! I was skeptical about the sauerkraut/tahini sauce combo… but I was so wrong. This was great, husband says its his favorite buddha bowl we’ve made so far! Thank you!

      This looks delicious! I have never used tempeh and don’t see it listed in the recipe itself. Do you season it or cook it? Or just crumble and serve?

        Hi Joli, thank you for reminding me to add it to the recipe, don’t know what I was thinking!! I normally don’t season tempeh for my glow bowls or salads, I just crumble it and serve but you can add tamari or spices if you feel like it! Personally, I don’t think it needs flavor and I just add it for plant protein so it takes on the other flavors of the bowl. Hope this helps and hope you like it!

      Is that tempeh crumbled on top (under the sauerkraut)?

      Yum!! This looks so delicious, a lot of my favorite foods! I love kombucha for how it improves my gut health, but I’ve never tried sauerkraut. I’ll have to check out that brand!
      Also, I wish we had a Native Foods 🙁

        Thanks Emilie! Love kombucha too. Sauerkraut is my new obsession, but make sure it’s raw! Yea Native Foods is the best – I see them opening up everywhere though so maybe one day 🙂

    when you think “nontoxic” products are the hel when you think “nontoxic” products are the helping you but they’re actually hurting you. for me, they were too clean! And didn’t cleanse my hair properly! I was left with oily buildup and a really unhappy scalp which also meant no new hair growth was coming in. So my hair was thinning and dull. 

Then I realized I was doing it wrong and looked into a customized system for my specific hair type that actually removes the buildup and oils over time, leading to brighter, incredibly shiny hair ✨🦄
