From the Publisher

Roasted Winter Squash & Pomegranate Bowl

This sweet and savory bowl features butternut squash, spinach, and pomegranate and is perfect for warming up on a night in. The mint leaves add a hit of bright flavor, and the accompanying pesto is made with a twist, using kale and walnuts instead of the traditional basil and pine nuts to create a heartier dish.

Blackberry-Lavender Ice Cream

Blackberries and summer go hand in hand. Here, the tartness of the berries balances the maple-coconut sweetness of this refreshing ice cream. Berries pair deliciously with floral flavors, especially lavender. The taste is reminiscent of taking a walk on a cool summer night.

Pineapple Fried Cauliflower Rice Bowl

The star of this bowl is the pineapple, which peaks in late spring and into early summer and adds a subtle sweetness to an otherwise savory compilation of vegetables, including mushrooms and peppers. Unlike traditional fried rice, this bowl uses cauliflower rice.

Quinoa Buddha Bowl

This bowl appears to be quite basic, but that’s because the beet-tahini dressing is the real star here. Roasting the beet and blending it with the other ingredients results in a delectable, creamy dressing that adds punch to anything it accompanies.

Summer Citrus Bowl with Lemon-Tahini Dressing

In this bowl, slices of heart-healthy avocado are paired with fresh citrus, spinach, and radicchio for a delicate combination that’s just as stunning to view as it is to eat. The pepitas and hazelnuts offer a pleasantly crunchy counterpart to the tender fruits and vegetables, and the mint adds a refreshing note.

Berry Banana Split Bowl

This bowl is reminiscent of a childhood favorite. The caramelized bananas are a tasty companion to the berries and coconut yogurt, while the other toppings will give you an energy kick. Perfect for children and adults alike, this bowl satisfies the sweet tooth in a slightly healthier way.

Mango-Ginger Smoothie Bowl

This smoothie bowl is ideal for late spring or all throughout summer when mango is in season. The ginger adds a spicy kick, while the mango contributes sweetness. Putting this bowl together takes all of two minutes!

Watermelon Poke Bowl with Spicy Sriracha Dressing

Poke is a raw-fish salad in Hawaiian cuisine. While I don’t eat fish, I admire how beautiful these bowls look. I decided I would celebrate a juicy summertime staple by making my own poke bowl featuring watermelon as a substitute for the fish. Here is my simple yet satisfying take, which will cool and refresh on a hot day.

Sautéed Eggplant & Millet Bowl with Fig-Balsamic Vinaigrette

Millet is a heart-healthy ancient grain high in nutritional value and rich in amino acids. In this bowl, the tender eggplant is cooked in onion and garlic to create a rich flavor. The fig and balsamic dressing adds sweetness, and the zucchini salad offers a crisp crunch to help balance the eggplant’s soft texture.
