Hi there! ✌️

A few weeks ago I created a new series based on the original “Bai’s Bowls” setup and I have gotten tons of positive feedback. I called it “Bai’s Mini Macro Bowls” and it’s the lighter version of Bai’s bowls with less work, less time in the kitchen, yet still packed with yummy delicious meal prepped food that you are (actually!) excited to open your fridge to. Instead of juggling six to seven different components like in Bai’s bowls, we stripped it down to just four power players to tie it all together.

Less chopping, fewer pans to wash, and half the kitchen time: about 45-60 minutes with clean up. Each portion will be slightly doubled up more than what you would find over in the Bai’s bowls.…so your fridge stays fully stocked just as long. And of course the OG Bai’s Bowls isn’t going anywhere but this will alternate bi-weekly so you can decide what to cook depending on your budget, your timeline and quite frankly how much energy you have!

We are kicking things off with a menu that’s fresh, bright, and full of flavor. It’s a combo that I actually make for friends and clients all the time, and rightfully so. It’s a bowl that will make your face blush (and might get you competitive with your housemates for who gets the last bowl) from how yummy this is. It’s a turmeric rice bowl, with a “salmon” alternative made with tofu, a mango cucumber salsa, and topped off with a spicy hemp sauce. I like to call it a vegan salmon sunshine bowl, because it’s a bright and light flavor profile. Whatever you want to call these, it’s going to make your day! Consider this your invitation to eat incredibly well, crush your macro goals, and get out of the kitchen in record time so you can go catch the sunset.
