Meet your health goals with these vegan bowls that are satisfying, delicious, balanced in nutrients, and provide meals under 500 calories, all with a focus on clean, nutrient-rich, whole ingredients.
Are you working on achieving some new healthy eating goals? There’s nothing better than an amazing vegan bowl—perfectly balanced in protein, healthy carbs and fats, and calories—to get you on the right path. The goal is to be satisfied with a hearty, delicious meal, packed in vitamins, minerals, antioxidant compounds, and macros, with a modest amount of calories to help maintain healthy weight goals.
That’s why I recommend 500 calorie meals as a great way to promote healthy weight, as it’s enough to keep most people fueled and feeling energetic, while still moderating your calorie intake for a healthy weight. At the same time, it’s important to push up the clean, whole plant ingredients in power-packed vegan bowls, which include plenty of real whole grains, pulses (beans), soy foods, fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, plant fats, herbs, and spices. We also want to limit those unwanted ingredients, such as added sugars, sodium, and additives.
I asked some of my favorite bloggers of all time to contribute their best under 500 calories vegan bowl recipes that are clean and balanced in nutrients, as well as delicious. I’m also sharing a bunch of my own healthy vegan bowl recipes too. Each healthy, nutritious bowl provides around 400-500 calories in order to keep you feeling satisfied for a fabulous day.
Cheers! Let’s eat and live the goodness every day!
