What is a Green Goddess Bowl?
The Green Goddess Bowl is a culinary work of art that is based primarily on plant-based ingredients. Its trademark: an incredible variety of greens - from crisp leaf lettuce to avocado and broccoli to refreshing cucumbers and edamame. The centerpiece of the bowl is the iconic "Green Goddess Sauce": a creamy, herb-based mixture of fresh herbs, lemon, garlic and often vegan yogurt or cashew cream. It not only gives the bowl its distinctive taste, but also its name.
Why is the Green Goddess Bowl so popular?
- Health for body and mind: This bowl is a real nutrient powerhouse. Green vegetables provide plenty of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. At the same time, the balanced combination of healthy fats, fiber and proteins ensures long-lasting energy.
