Dynamite Ginger Kale Bowl with Cauliflower Rice
/
I am OBSESSED with one bowl dinners!
When schedules get crazy and hectic, easy dinner recipes are a must – and this DELICIOUS ginger kale bowl couldn’t be easier to throw together after a busy day.
Simply chop up some garlic and ginger, stir-fry with some ground turkey (or a can of chickpeas for my vegetarian friends), add a bunch of kale and VOILA...........You just made a ginger kale bowl! The most complicated part of this recipe is the cauliflower rice (which is not complicated at all – just throw in a food processor and pop in the oven for 20 minutes). For heartier appetites, you can serve over rice or quinoa.
AND......IT’S HEALTHY!
This yummy recipe is gluten free, dairy free and has vegan options. Cauliflower is high in glucosinolates, that may help lower the risk of cancer. Cauliflower is also high in Vitamin C and Vtamin K, an essential vitamin.Ginger is a digestive stimulant and helps with blood circulation and garlic is anti-inflammatory, the perfect combo for fighting winter germs . Kale is loaded with fiber, vitamin A, C, K and folate. It also helps combat inflammation.
