The Mama Nourishment Bowl

I am so excited to bring you a delicious recipe that is perfect for all the Mamas out there! (and of course if you’re not pregnant you will love this, too :)). Last week I revealed this recipe on Instagram and there was a ton of buzz about how you couldn’t wait to see the recipe.

So here it is….this is a hearty and grounding dish that will leave you feeling satisfied and nourished. When you are pregnant, it is especially important to get all the key nutrients your body needs to be able to fuel you and baby!

I created this dish with all of those things in mind. There are a few stars in this dish I want to highlight for you. It is packed with protein, minerals and calcium and it is also 100% plant-based and gluten-free.

This meal will satisfy the whole family as well, when you want something a little heartier and filling. And it pairs really well with my Dharma’s Kale Salad or my Shiva’s Kale Salad. I talked with you guys about leftovers last week and this is a great dish to make extra of that will serve as the perfect leftover. You can simply adjust the recipe to make 4-6 servings and save in the refrigerator over the week. 

A few details on the amazing ingredients…

Mushrooms

New Recipe: Mama Nourishment Bowl

Your body will receive an excellent amount of protein from the cremini mushrooms! Mushrooms may be a humble fungus, but all-around they are surprisingly nutritious! They retain many of their nutrients even when cooked, so you don’t have to always eat them raw. They are low in calories and contain high levels of selenium, riboflavin, copper, niacin, tryptophan, pantothenic acid, potassium, phosphorous, zinc, manganese, thiamin, pyridoxine, and folate!

They also contain iron, calcium, fiber, and magnesium in smaller amounts. A recent study even showed that mushrooms exposed to UVB light are rich in vitamin D (although these mushrooms have not yet received FDA approval or been placed on the market). Mushrooms contain antioxidants, including ergothioneine 5, which protects cells, fights against oxidative damage, slows aging, and protects health. To read more about mushrooms click here.

Spinach

New Recipe: Mama Nourishment Bowl

Load on the calcium -which is especially important when pregnant! Spinach is also high in vitamin A, which is necessary for the growth of all bodily tissues, including skin and hair. Spinach and other leafy greens high in vitamin C are imperative for the building and maintenance of collagen, which provides structure to skin and hair.

The possible health benefits of consuming spinach include improving blood glucose control in diabetics, lowering the risk of cancer, lowering blood pressure, improving bone health, lowering the risk of developing asthma and more. Iron-deficiency is a common cause of hair loss, which can be prevented by an adequate intake of iron-rich foods, like spinach. Dark leafy greens like spinach are important for skin and hair, bone health, and provide protein, iron, vitamins and minerals.

Turmeric

New Recipe: Mama Nourishment Bowl

Turmeric gives a nice color to the dish and it has amazing anti-inflammatory properties that are great for Mama!  I have been talking about Turmeric a lot the last few months, and this power spice returns for this recipe. Turmeric is part of the ginger family. Recent reports from leading laboratories worldwide strongly support the health-promoting and disease-preventing properties of turmeric and its primary active ingredient curcumin.

If you have not heard of Turmeric, it is an amazing spice that has a mildly earthy aroma with some undertone scents of orange or ginger. At the same time it has somewhat of a pungent, bitter flavor- a little goes a long way for sure.  Be sure you should pick some up the next time you are at your local health food store to try it! Turmeric is also a potent antioxidant and has anti-inflammatory properties. You can also check out my Turmeric Beauty Rice as well!

I wanted to note that my Ayurvedic teacher said that since Turmeric does increase blood flow, you want to only use powdered turmeric as fresh may be too strong while you are pregnant.

Coconut Milk Note:

New Recipe: Mama Nourishment Bowl

Many of you ask me what kind of coconut milk to purchase. I highly recommend using cartons of coconut milk over using cans to avoid sneaky toxins that could get into your milk. I wanted this recipe to have a really creamy feeling so I used culinary grade coconut milk which will give you a creamy consistency and texture. You can use the bigger cartons of normal coconut milk for a lighter dish as well.

    Made this already for dinner tonight! It was delicious, and so easy 🙂 I didn’t have culinary coconut milk so I mixed hot water with homemade coconut butter, it worked great. Thanks for sharing awesome recipes like these, Kimberly!

    i’m not familiar with nutritional yeast…what are the benefits and could it be left out without sacrificing flavor?

    Love this recipe! I’ve made it twice with some adjustments: garlic, onion, red pepper, and crushed red pepper.

    I was wondering why you would soak the rice rather than cook it. I’ve been avoiding rice during my pregnancies and while breastfeeding because I hear that it contains high levels of arsenic. What are your thoughts on this? And can I replace the rice in this recipe with Bulgar, Farrow, or Quinoa?

      Hi Cristina…If you’re unable to find sprouted rice, I encourage soaking your brown rice overnight and then cooking according to the package instructions (this is mentioned in the recipe but may have been confusing), so that our bodies are able to break it down more easily and increases your nutrients. Quinoa is a great option if you don’t want to use brown rice. Sending lots of love! 😉

    5 stars
    I just came across this recipe! It is phenomenal. I was unfortunately out of Tumeric, so I substituted with Curry. It was a hearty and nourishing meal, for sure! This will be my new go-to and I cannot wait to try it with Tumeric next time! Thank you!
