Winter warming bowl

Greens, greens, greens

This bowl is based on a warm kale base infused with garlic, vegetable stock, lemon and olive oil. From there, it’s really up to you. I have added leak, stock infused rice and broccolini as well as avocado, tomato, chickpeas and grated parmesan. However, the beauty of this bowl is that you can add any carbs, fats and protein you like.
