Notes

Other Thoughts
  • Super adaptable - this pork is versatile! It's salty and a tiny bit sweet. Make sandwiches out of it or use it for tacos or burritos. The options are endless. I would even highly recommend eating it over the Butternut Squash Mac-n-Cheese!
  • Get creative with your bowls! Sweet potato + roasted Brussel sprouts + pork sounds delicious as well.
  • Save the pork in the refrigerator for 3 - 5 days or freeze in individual servings for meals at a later date.
 
How-to-Use
Athletes: As an endurance athlete, you're likely eating quite differently than others in your house. Meals like this allow YOU to get what you need and everyone is happy. Flex the amount of grains <carbs> depending on your weekly mileage. Keep protein steady through training. And, adjust veggies based on the workout ahead and how sensitive your GI tract is!
Healthy Eating: Echoing the athlete recommendations - I love these bowls because you can adjust the amounts of each item. Our eyes do a lot of our eating. If we see a FULL bowl of food, we are more likely to feel satisfied by our meal. Build yourself a FULL bowl!
Kids: Kids aren't a fan of bowls?! Put it on different sections of the plate. Or, use the pork to make them a quesadilla!
