Nutrition Notes:

This recipe provides a lot of delicious nutritional value. Including key components protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. As well as fibre, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals.

Making a Nourish Bowl:

When making a nourish bowl just like this Super Food Rainbow Bowl you want to include the key macronutrients (protein, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats) to provide nutritional balance.

As you’ll see in the recipe below this rainbow bowl includes plant based sources of protein (chickpeas), healthy fats (extra virgin olive oil, avocado and pepitas) and complex carbohydrates (sweet potato, pumpkin, quinoa or rice).

With so much diversity in this recipe you’ll also find a great source of fibre, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants thanks to the range of vegetables and salad ingredients.

Making the Dressing:

No more boring dressings! This Manuka magic dressing is bright, vibrant, flavourful and healthy.
Thanks to the beetroot the colour highlights the superfood benefits in this dish. Paired with extra virgin olive oil and yoghurt to make this smooth and creamy. With some zing and vitamin C from lemon, anti-inflammatory benefits of turmeric (paired with black pepper to increase its absorption) and antibacterial properties from Manuka honey, this dressing is both delicious and healthy.
Which Manuka Honey to use?
I use 100% Australian Active Manuka honey that’s independently tested to know I am getting guaranteed MGO activity levels (the key component attributed to the unique antibacterial activity of Manuka honey). Using Manuka honey over regular honey provides extra nutritional benefits thanks to the bioactive properties of Manuka honey that gives Manuka its unique antibacterial and antimicrobial properties.
The Capilano Active Manuka Honey is 100% Australian Manuka honey and has a pleasant mild flavour yet potent in its MGO levels (which you can see the level of potency by looking at the label).
