Fall is here, and that means hearty, wholesome meals packed with seasonal goodness. This autumn harvest bowl is the perfect balance of warmth, flavor, and nutrition to celebrate the season. With a base of tender kale, creamy cottage cheese, and protein-packed quinoa, it’s everything you need for a satisfying meal that feels like a hug in a bowl.
Prep your squash but slicing in half vertically and using a fork to remove all the seeds. Then cut into half moon slices.
100 g(1cups) Delicata Squash
Lay on a baking sheet and spray with olive oil. Season with salt & pepper. Then lay down sprigs of rosemary and thyme in between. Finally, drizzle with sugar free syrup.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, add in your chopped kale. I used already washed and chopped kale but if yours is fresh, be sure to do so. I like to remove any hard stems.
85 g(4cups) Chopped Kale
Sprinkle with salt and drizzle with oil. Then use a clean hand to massage the kale until it has all softened.
Salt, 7 ml(0.5tbsp) Olive Oil
Quinoa:
Bring your water to a boil and add in your bouillon paste. Mix until dissolved. Add in your quinoa, cover and cook until all water has evaporated. Fluff it up with a fork.
