Why You’ll Love This Bowl

This bowl is my wellness-forward take on a viral favorite—and it’s quickly become one of my most-loved meals. It’s easy, flavorful, and designed to hit all five of my wellness keys: food, movement, mindset, sleep, and connection. When we nourish well, everything else flows.

What’s in it?

Each ingredient was chosen with care—simple, whole, and nutrient-packed:

• Sweet potatoes: Roasted to perfection for natural sweetness, fiber, and steady energy

• Ground chicken: Seasoned with smoky spices for that bold, satisfying flavor

• Fresh greens: Baby spinach or arugula for a burst of color and crunch

• Cottage cheese: Creamy texture and high-protein goodness

• Avocado: Healthy fats that add richness and support hormone and brain health

• Hot honey: That little drizzle of spicy sweetness to tie it all together

Wellness Meets Craveable Flavor

This bowl isn’t just balanced in nutrients—it’s balanced in taste and texture too. Creamy meets crispy, savory meets sweet, and every bite keeps you coming back for more.

It’s a delicious reminder that eating well doesn’t have to mean giving up flavor. In fact, it’s often the opposite.
