Christmas Day Acai Bowl

Acai, pronounced ah-sigh-ee, is one of gods many great gifts to man-kind. This nutrient dense berry has been called purple gold due to its amazing health benefits. Acai boasts anti-oxidant, anti-cholesterol, and anti-inflammatory benefits. In a small study of women, daily consumption of acai showed favorable actions on plasma HDL (ie good cholesterol) metabolism and anti-oxidant defense; therefore acai could have a beneficial overall role against atherosclerosis, cancer, and arthritis. Because açaí berries can spoil within a day, the best ways to buy them are frozen (we recommend Sambazon’s superfruit packs) or in powdered form.

Barbecue Tempeh Bowl

Tempeh is a nutrient-dense soy product with a high amount of protein (approx 30 grams per cup), as well as various vitamins and minerals. Additionally, it boasts the ability to decrease total cholesterol, oxidative stress, and also curb appetite. Moreover, tempeh is a great probiotic and is known to stimulate the growth of many of the normal intestinal bacterial flora. It will definitely give you that “full” feeling that many newly converted vegetarians may be seeking. Furthermore, its a great meat alternative that can be dressed up to fool even the sharpest of taste buds. Check the recipe below to keep it plant based.
