Introduction

Craving a meal that does your body as much good as it does your taste buds? This Anti-Inflammatory Glow Bowl is a vibrant, plant-based recipe layered with wholesome grains, colorful roasted vegetables, antioxidant-rich greens, and finished with a creamy tahini yogurt sauce. Its rainbow of ingredients not only supports your wellness but also delivers a punch of satisfying flavor and texture perfect for easy lunches or energizing dinners.

Why This Glow Bowl Shines

Loaded with anti-inflammatory powerhouses like turmeric-roasted sweet potatoes, leafy greens, and omega-3 rich seeds, this bowl is perfect for anyone seeking to support joint health, reduce inflammation, or simply feel fantastic. This bowl’s impressive mix of bowl-friendly, simple-to-prep ingredients makes every bite pop, providing crave-worthy flavor and a beautiful plate. The tahini yogurt sauce, both tangy and nutty, brings everything together with irresistible creaminess.

Building Your Anti-Inflammatory Glow Bowl

Start your base with protein-rich grains like quinoa or brown rice, then add a generous helping of roasted sweet potato and broccoli seasoned with turmeric, cumin, and black pepper. Top that with fresh baby spinach, shredded carrots, and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds for crunch. Finish with a luscious dollop of tahini yogurt sauce, which infuses the bowl with healthy fats and comforting flavor.

Perfecting the Tahini Yogurt Sauce

To make the sauce, blend creamy tahini with plant-based yogurt, lemon juice, a touch of maple syrup, and a dash of garlic powder. Whisk until smooth and taste for tang and seasoning, adding a pinch of sea salt or extra lemon to brighten it up. Let the sauce rest for five minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully and become thick enough to generously coat the veggies in your bowl.

Serving the Anti-Inflammatory Glow Bowl

Layer the cooked grain, roasted veggies, and greens in a wide bowl. Generously drizzle with your tahini yogurt sauce and finish with toppings like pomegranate seeds or microgreens for a fresh, crunchy finish. This bowl is equally satisfying served warm or at room temperature—ideal for meal prep, packed lunches, or a crowd-pleasing plant-based dinner.
