Falafel, haloumi and avocado protein bowl.

This is much less of a recipe, more like a list of foods to assemble. As such it is really a versatile way of packing a bowl or lunchbox with a mix of healthy choices.

A mixture of small tasty bites. In this bowl today I’ve chosen vegetarian options but these could easily be substituted for chicken, lean beef or eggs.

I’ve used mixed leaves on the base of the bowl. You could also use baby spinach, baby kale or red chard leaves. A large spoonful of mixed rice and grains adds some carbs. You could use just rice, quinoa or wholemeal pasta. The dish contained 5 small felafel broken in half. Also I added half an avocado and two small slices of grilled halloumi. A few olives might have been nice, or perhaps some pickled vegetables. Really it is entirely up to you and your taste buds as to what you do or don’t include.

I tied the whole bowl together with a spoon of yogurt with some mint stirred in and a drizzle of a chili balsamic glaze. It certainly fills you up and tastes delicious.
