How to build your own bowls

1. Choose a Base

Roasted Vegetables - sweet potato, parsnip, squash, zucchini (recipe here)

Tempeh

Avocado

Raw Veggies/Herbs (cilantro, avocado, salad greens, basil, purple cabbage)

Nuts + Seeds (almonds, cashews, pistachios, hemp seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds)

Violife Vegan Feta

3. Choose Sauce

Vegan Pesto
