The Bowl

If you're a recent vegan, you might be wondering just what on earth you're supposed to eat now that you've condensed your diet considerably. Start with something simple: The Bowl.

• The Bowl = grain + bean/legume + veggie + sauce + toppings + <3

My Favorite Bowl (inspired by the Che Guevara bowl at Laughing Planet) = quinoa + black beans + sweet potato + plaintain + pico de gallo + spicy bbq sauce + love
