I tend to look for opportunities everywhere. No matter how seemingly mundane or monotonous, every moment presents us with the space to nourish our bodies and support our souls. One example? Our lunch break. While it often goes overlooked, this small pause between meetings and tasks can serve as a moment of mindfulness that fully recharges us for the rest of the day.

As someone who leans into her everyday rituals to keep her grounded, it probably comes as no surprise that I love to create a ritual of my go-to, midday meal. Case in point: my current obsession is a Nourish Bowl. It’s as simple and healthy as it is Instagram-worthy. For those of you who love variety, it starts with a base formula that you can riff off with whatever ingredients you have on hand.

My Nourish Bowls are almost always inspired by a leftover ingredient in my fridge. Whether that’s shredded chicken from last night’s dinner or a batch of roasted veggies I meal-prepped the weekend before, it’s a delicious combination that elevates any weekday lunch. I partnered with Target to share my favorite Nourish Bowl recipes prepped with fresh, simple ingredients from their brand, Good & Gather.

My “Formula” for a Delicious Nourish Bowl:

The key ingredients in my signature Nourish Bowl create a beautiful balance of texture and flavor—and remember, we eat with our eyes first! Research shows that eating a varied diet of colorful fruits and veggies creates a diverse microbiome, leading to a healthy and happy gut.

Here’s what I aim for in each of my grain bowls. And remember, rules are meant to be broken—so feel free to add or omit as desired.

  • Raw veggies: sliced cucumbers, fresh tomatoes, bell peppers, etc.
  • Cooked veggies: roasted sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.
  • Pickled veggies (optional, but delicious): red onions, radish, purple cabbage, beets, etc.
  • Protein: Rotisserie chicken, tofu, tempeh, etc.
  • Something crunchy: Cashews, slivered almonds, walnuts, pecans, pumpkin seeds, etc.
  • Something creamy: Sliced avocado, your favorite cheese, etc.
  • A sauce: Hummus, dressing, or simply a drizzle of olive oil.
