Today, I am SO excited to be collaborating with the lovely Willow from Will Cook For Friends to bring you this detox bowl! Willow is currently sharing a healthy recipe EVERY single day in January, so you won’t be short of healthy inspiration at all.

Willow is sharing some gorgeous roasted cauliflower steaks which are slathered in the gorgeous tahini sauce that we’re going to top some detox bowls with…

This year, I’m really trying to focus on eating as many whole foods as possible. Meals like this detox bowl have a combination of grains, fresh veggies and some healthy fats, meaning you get a nutritious and satisfying lunch, that’s completely processed food free. If you wanted to add some protein too, a dollop of homemade hummus, some beans or tofu would work great. You can really customise this bowl to be whatever you want it to be.

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C. Chop the cauliflower into florets and toss with the olive oil and ground cumin. Roast for 20-25 minutes until golden.
  2. To make the sauce, add all ingredients except the water and salt to a food processor. While blending, drizzle in the water a little at a time until the sauce starts to become smooth. Continue processing, scraping down the sides or adding additional water as needed, until the sauce is as smooth as your food processor can make it. Add salt to taste.
  3. Boil the quinoa in a saucepan for 10 minutes then drain and set aside. Meanwhile, chop the kale and red cabbage into thin strips and saute in a frying pan with the minced garlic clove over a medium heat until wilted. Add in the quinoa and toss so everything is mixed together.
  4. Place some of the kale mixture in the bottom of a bowl and top with sliced avocado, some of the roasted cauliflower, a drizzle of the tahini sauce and if desired, sprinkle some cress on the top.

    This looks absolutely stunning! SO healthy and fresh. I think people would eat so much healthier if veggies were always this pretty!

    This looks GORGEOUS, Lauren!! I love all the fresh veggies going on in this bowl. I’m so glad we could collaborate and use this sauce in a couple different ways — I still have some left over in my fridge and I know just how I’m going to use it!
