Why Make an Anti-Inflammatory Glow Bowl?

This recipe stands out because it celebrates the synergy of anti-inflammatory foods—think antioxidant-rich veggies, hearty legumes, nourishing grains, and a probiotic boost from the tahini yogurt sauce.

The Perfect Tahini Yogurt Sauce

The creamy tahini yogurt sauce brings everything together with its rich, nutty, and tangy flavor. Using plant-based yogurt keeps this dressing dairy-free while adding a delightful creaminess, probiotics, and gut-friendly benefits. A touch of lemon juice and a sprinkle of turmeric supply extra anti-inflammatory power, making this sauce both tasty and functional.

Building Your Glow Bowl Base

Start with a mix of roasted and raw vegetables for texture and nutrition—sweet potatoes, broccoli, red peppers, and leafy greens work beautifully. Add a portion of your favorite whole grain, such as quinoa or brown rice, and top with plant protein like chickpeas or lentils. Arrange everything artfully in a bowl for a recipe that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is satisfying to eat.

Serving Suggestions and Nutritional Boosts

Garnish your bowl with fresh herbs such as cilantro or parsley, a sprinkle of hemp or pumpkin seeds for healthy fats, and a drizzle of luscious tahini yogurt sauce. You can even add a wedge of lemon on the side for extra brightness. This bowl is perfect served warm or at room temperature—great for a desk lunch, light dinner, or make-ahead meal.
