Collapse ▲Did you know one-bowl meals are a great way to build a well-balanced meal? One-bowl meals have many nutritional benefits. In the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), our goal is to teach the youth here in Robeson County the importance of eating a variety of healthy nutritious foods and increasing daily physical activity. In our high school curriculum ‘Fuel for Life’ we highlight one-bowl meals. One-bowl meals can pack a bowl full of nutrition from the five food groups: grains, proteins, fruits, vegetables, and dairy. According to USDA, adolescents between the ages 14 to 18 need the following amount daily from each food group: grains – 6 ounces, fruit – 2 cups, vegetables – 2 ½ cups, dairy – 3 cups, and protein – 5 ½ ounces.
One-bowl meals allow anyone to be creative. You can make bowls for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, sweet or spicy. The most important thing is to remember is to pick items that will pack great nutritional value, from lean proteins to fat-free dairy. When building a bowl meal, you want to start with a good base (about 1 cup), such as whole-wheat pasta, brown rice, lettuce, roman noodles, grits, oatmeal, or lettuce. Next, chose your vegetables or fruits (about 1 cup) like corn, berries, apples, broccoli, avocado, or bananas. Next, choose a protein (about ½ cup) such as shredded chicken, cooked ground beef, tuna, black beans, yogurt, hummus, or eggs. Lastly, finish it with condiments and toppings like peanuts, honey, soy sauce, cheese, salsa, vinegar, or oil. Remember, one-bowl meals can be made in a variety of ways, so don’t be afraid to make your own twist on them.
