This kimchi macro bowl is simple, delicious, and so versatile. It’s easy to throw together for easy meals when you’re short on time.
In this bowl, I added nutty quinoa, blanched kale, creamy avocado, kimchi, and organic toasted nori drizzled with tahini tamari ginger dressing. Seriously the dreamiest.
Prep all the ingredients you love at the beginning of the week, then mix-and-match throughout the rest to save tons of time, energy, and effort. Have fun with it! Instead of quinoa, opt for brown rice, farro, or amaranth. Then throw in different pickled, grilled, and blanched veggies. The combinations are endless.
