The Kootenay Bowl With Prawns

As fresh as you can get, this healthy and delicious veggie and prawn lunch bowl (which is named after the lake our lodge looks over) is definitely one to add to your routine. Packed full of lean protein, vitamin and mineral rich vegetables, this full meal offers your body and brain a powerhouse of good things, while keeping your body feeling light and trim. To make this bowl even more nutrient dense, try adding cubed avocado, a natural companion to the lightly spiced prawns.

Note: Unfortunately, this recipe is so new that we don’t have an image for it yet! The image above is borrowed from Low Carb Maven to give you an idea of what a veggie packed prawn bowl looks like. You can find her version of this bowl here. We will be publishing our own image for this recipe later in the year.
