Recipe : "Bowls"

Ashley and I made one of my favorite dinners tonight, "bowls." This a recipe we created sometime last year and make at least once a month.

Ingredients:
Spinach, fresh, 1 cup
Tortilla Chips, 28 grams (a handful)
Cheddar Cheese, .25 cup, shredded
Onions, raw, 1 tbsp chopped
Avocado, .5 fruit without skin and seeds
Beans, black, .5 cup
Brown Rice, medium grain, .25 cup
Sour cream, fat free, 20 grams

Directions:
Basically cook the beans and rice and put everything in a bowl!!!

Full nutrition facts are below and as you can see these pack a punch! Great for post workout or race. Plenty of calories, protein, carbs and vitamins. The fat content looks high at first, but most are monounsaturated fats. These are Omega-9 fatty acids, that lower LDL cholesterol, while possibly raising HDL cholesterol. They are also positively associated with breast cancer risk. Most of this comes from the avocado.



Give it a try and let me know what you think!
